- 요약In quantum many-body systems, fractionalization stands as a hallmark of quantum emergent phenomena, where an elementary degree of freedom, such as an electron, decomposes into distinct pieces with a fraction of quantum numbers due to frustration or strong quantum fluctuations. A canonical well-understood example of this is observed in one-dimensional quantum systems. In one-dimensional systems, the pronounced quantum fluctuations facilitate the deconfinement of these fractionalized quasiparticles, allowing them to exhibit independent dynamics, where electrons, carriers of both charge and spin, undergo spin-charge separation which results in the dynamical deconfinement of spinon and chargon. In two dimensions, however, the physics is more intricate. In the presence of frustrating interactions between spins, the interacting spins are unable to order. Instead, they create long-range patterns of entanglement leading to states of matter such as quantum spin liquids, heralding the topological quantum matter with novel fractionalized particles and emergent gauge fields. These states are characterized by topological order: ground state degeneracy on a manifold of non-zero genus, and fractionalized excitations with abelian and non-abelian quantum statistics. In these states, the original localized spin degrees undergo further fractionalization to give new degrees of freedom, such as Majorana fermions and spinons. In these states, both charges and spins are localized. However, the emergent fractionalized degrees of freedom can be remarkably delocalized and able to transport energy. Identifying and studying the phenomena of fractionalization presents a dual challenge: discerning fractionalized particles and finding material candidates that realize fractionalization. This dissertation presents a comprehensive theoretical study of fractionalization in both one and two dimensions, focusing on these challenges.In one-dimensional systems, we explore quantum and frustrated magnetism, which, while not necessarily harboring topological order, exhibit intriguing behaviors due to fractionalization. Specifically, we study frustrated quantum spin(-orbital) chains where frustration significantly impacts their physics. Our research on d4 electronic materials challenges the conventional wisdom that these systems are nonmagnetic, demonstrating instead a diverse magnetic phase diagram. This is encapsulated by a quantum spin model with Uimin-Lai-Sutherland (ULS) interactions, influenced by spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Key findings include the fractionalization of spin into spinons, incommensurate soft modes of spinons due to emergent SU(3) symmetry, and a spinon Lifshitz transition characterized by different conformal field theories. We also propose relevant materials, such as OsCl4, for realizing the fractionalization predicted by our theories.In two-dimensional systems, the phenomenon of fractionalization is both theoretically profound and experimentally appealing in the context of Quantum Spin Liquids (QSLs), due to its potential relevance for fault-tolerant quantum computing. We introduce several innovative approaches for understanding and detecting QSLs, focusing on higher-order dynamics to obtain sharper definitive signatures of Kitaev quantum spin liquids. Techniques such as linear response theory with higher-order processes and computational algorithms like infinite projected entangled pair states (iPEPS), Exact Diagonalization (ED), and Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) are employed to obtain clearer signatures of different QSL phases and to understand quantum phase transitions between these phases. In highly frustrated QSLs, the very notion of dimensionality can acquire an `emergent? nature: although the individual particles interact along all directions in a lattice, their collective behavior can occur in a lower-dimensional space, providing a sharply discernible signature of candidate quantum systems. We explore effective dimensional reduction facilitated by emergent subsystem symmetries and spatially dependent compass couplings, which provide distinct signatures of fractionalized particles observable by spin and quadrupole dynamics, aiding in identifying true Kitaev materials. In additional, with these techniques, we investigate an intermediate gapless phase under a magnetic field, which we propose to be an emergent Majorana metal-a novel neutral metal composed solely of fractionalized particles. This phase results from a novel phase transition from the Kitaev spin liquid under a magnetic field.Furthermore, we investigate quantum information-theoretic features of QSLs and topological order. Quantum entanglement, a pivotal concept in quantum many-body systems, is essential for characterizing topological order. We propose methods to extract topological entanglement entropy (TEE) and probe global patterns of entanglement. Our work demonstrates that local frustrated exchange interactions in highly gapped QSL phases can encode information about TEE, enabling its extraction from local measurements. Additionally, we have worked out the duality between the toric code model, the paradigmatic model for QSL and quantum information processing, and subsystem symmetry-protected states or cluster states. This duality heralds a novel correspondence between 2D topological order and 2D cluster states for measurement-based quantum computing. Moreover, we propose a statistical approach to TEE where machine learning can be used to identify long-range entanglement in the ground state in a quantum-classical hybrid approach. These insights, along with the statistical approach to topological entanglement, offer a unified framework for understanding entanglement in QSLs using machine learning techniques.Through these multifaceted approaches, this dissertation enhances our understanding of fractionalization in quantum materials and helps us understand the existence and scope of matter beyond Landau's symmetry breaking paradigm.
