Constraining the parameter space of a quantum spin liquid candidate in applied field with iterative optimization

The quantum spin liquid (QSL) state is an exotic state of matter featuring a high degree of entanglement and lack of long-range magnetic order in the zero-temperature limit. The triangular antiferromagnet YbMgGaO_{4} is a candidate QSL host, and precise determination of the Hamiltonian parameters is...
