Doping a topological quantum spin liquid: slow holes in the Kitaev honeycomb model
We present a controlled microscopic study of mobile holes in the spatially anisotropic (Abelian) gapped phase of the Kitaev honeycomb model. We address the properties of (i) a single hole [its internal degrees of freedom as well as its hopping properties]; (ii) a pair of holes [their (relative) part...
