Dickes original thought experiment with two spins coupled to a photon mode has recently been experimentally realized. We propose extending this experiment to N spins and show that it naturally gives rise to highly entangled states. In particular, it gives rise to dark states which have resonating valence bond (RVB) character. We first consider a system of N two level spins in a cavity with only one spin in the excited state. This initial state is a linear combination of a dark state and a bright state. We point out the dark state is a coherent superposition of singlets with resonating valence bond character. We show that the coupling to the photon mode takes the spin system into a mixed state with an entangled density matrix. We next consider an initial state with half of the spins in the excited state. We show that there is a non-zero probability for this to collapse into a dark state with RVB character. In the lossy cavity limit, if no photon is detected within several decay time periods, we may deduce that the spin system has collapsed onto the dark RVB state. We show that the probability for this scales as 2/N, making it possible to generate RVB states of 20 spins or more.

Resonating valence bond (RVB) states are a class of entangled quantum many body wavefunctions with great significance in condensed matter physics. We propose a scheme to synthesize a family of RVB states using a cavity QED setup with two-level atoms
(with states $vert 0 rangle$ and $vert 1 rangle$) coupled to a common photon mode. In the lossy cavity limit, starting with an initial state of $M$ atoms excited and $N$ atoms in the ground state, we show that this setup can be configured as a Stern Gerlach experiment. A measurement of photon emission collapses the wavefunction of atoms onto an RVB state composed of resonating long-ranged singlets of the form $frac{1}{sqrt{2}}[vert 0 1 rangle - vert 1 0 rangle]$. Each emitted photon reduces the number of singlets by unity, replacing it with a pair of lone spins or `spinons. As spinons are formed coherently in pairs, they are analogous to Cooper pairs in a superconductor. To simulate pair fluctuations, we propose a protocol in which photons are allowed to escape the cavity undetected. This leads to a mixed quantum state with a fluctuating number of spinon pairs -- an inchoate superconductor. Remarkably, in the limit of large system sizes, this protocol reveals an underlying quantum phase transition. Upon tuning the initial spin polarization ($M-N$), the emission exhibits a continuous transition from a dark state to a bright state. This is reflected in the spinon pair number distribution which can be tuned from sub-poissonian to super-poissonian regimes. This opens an exciting route to simulate RVB states and superconductivity.
We investigate the entanglement properties of resonating-valence-bond states on two and higher dimensional lattices, which play a significant role in our understanding of various many-body systems. We show that these states are genuinely multipartite
entangled, while there is only a negligible amount of two-site entanglement. We comment on possible physical implications of our findings.
The trimer resonating valence bond (tRVB) state consisting of an equal-weight superposition of trimer coverings on a square lattice is proposed. A model Hamiltonian of the Rokhsar-Kivelson type for which the tRVB becomes the exact ground state is wri
tten. The state is shown to have $9^g$ topological degeneracy on genus g surface and support $Z_3$ vortex excitations. Correlation functions show exponential behavior with a very short correlation length consistent with the gapped spectrum. The classical problem of the degeneracy of trimer configurations is investigated by the transfer matrix method.
We apply a variational wave function capable of describing qualitatively and quantitatively the so called resonating valence bond in realistic materials, by improving standard ab initio calculations by means of quantum Monte Carlo methods. In this fr
amework we clearly identify the Kekule and Dewar contributions to the chemical bond of the benzene molecule, and we establish the corresponding resonating valence bond energy of these well known structures ($simeq 0.01$eV/atom). We apply this method to unveil the nature of the chemical bond in undoped graphene and show that this picture remains only within a small resonance length of few atomic units.
A central idea in strongly correlated systems is that doping a Mott insulator leads to a superconductor by transforming the resonating valence bonds (RVBs) into spin-singlet Cooper pairs. Here, we argue that a spin-triplet RVB (tRVB) state, driven by
spatially, or orbitally anisotropic ferromagnetic interactions can provide the parent state for triplet superconductivity. We apply this idea to the iron-based superconductors, arguing that strong onsite Hunds interactions develop intra-atomic tRVBs between the t$_{2g}$ orbitals. On doping, the presence of two iron atoms per unit cell allows these inter-orbital triplets to coherently delocalize onto the Fermi surface, forming a fully gapped triplet superconductor. This mechanism gives rise to a unique staggered structure of onsite pair correlations, detectable as an alternating $pi$ phase shift in a scanning tunnelling Josephson microscope.
