Abstract: The bond-dependent Ising interaction present in the Kitaev model has recently attracted considerable attention. The attention has mostly focused on the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice version of the Kitaev model where several materials has been identified as potential realizations. However, one can also imagine realizing simpler one-dimensional Kitaev spin chains that still has a surprisingly rich structure.
