Motzkin spin chains are frustration-free models whose ground-state is a combination of Motzkin paths. The weight of such path contributions can be controlled by a deformation parameter t. As a function of the latter these models, beside the formation of domain wall structures, exhibit a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition for t=1 and gapped Haldane topological orders with constant decay of the string order parameters for t < 1. By means of numerical calculations we show that the topological properties of the Haldane phases depend on the spin value. This allows to classify different kinds of hidden antiferromagnetic Haldane gapped regimes associated to nontrivial features like symmetry-protected topological order. Our results from one side allow to clarify the physical properties of Motzkin frustration-free chains and from the other suggest them as a new interesting and paradigmatic class of local spin Hamiltonians.
We derive some entanglement properties of the ground states of two classes of quantum spin chains described by the Fredkin model, for half-integer spins, and the Motzkin model, for integer ones. Since the ground states of the two models are known ana
The Motzkin and Fredkin quantum spin chains are described by frustration-free Hamiltonians recently introduced and studied because of their anomalous behaviors in the correlation functions and in the entanglement properties. In this paper we analyze
We study quantum phase transitions between competing orders in one-dimensional spin systems. We focus on systems that can be mapped to a dual-field double sine-Gordon model as a bosonized effective field theory. This model contains two pinning potent
We analyze the convergence of the irreversible event-chain Monte Carlo algorithm for continuous spin models in the presence of topological excitations. In the two-dimensional XY model, we show that the local nature of the Markov-chain dynamics leads
This review summarizes recent advances in our understanding of anomalous transport in spin chains, viewed through the lens of integrability. Numerical advances, based on tensor-network methods, have shown that transport in many canonical integrable s
