Heart of Entanglement: Chiral, Nematic, and Incommensurate Phases in the Kitaev-Gamma Ladder in a Field

The bond-dependent Kitaev model on the honeycomb lattice with anyonic excitations has recently attracted considerable attention. However, in solid-state materials other spin interactions are present, and among such additional interactions, the off-diagonal symmetric Gamma interaction, another type o...
