Description
Chasing new states of quantum matter is a central element in condensed matter physics, motivated both by fundamental curiosity but also by the need for a better understanding of many-body quantum effects for future technologies. Of particular interest are frustrated systems such as the Shastry-Sutherland (SS) model consisting of spin pairs (dimers) embedded in a square lattice. The model has an exact dimer product ground state when the ratio,
