| contents | Since the seminal works in the fifties it has been known that a bath of non-interacting electrons mediates an interaction between local moments (such as nuclear spins or magnetic impurities) coupled to distant sites of the lattice. Recent efforts in simultaneous control of multi-qubit arrays rely on defining quantum dots in environments which likewise contain electrons capable of mediating effective interactions. It is therefore interesting to analyze systems with more than two impurities in higher orders of perturbation theory. Here we derive and discuss the significance of the effective spin interactions between four impurities in fourth order of the coupling between the impurities and the substrate, mediated by conduction electrons of a two-dimensional square lattice. This effective interaction resembles the ring exchange -- a coupling of four spins appearing in perturbative treatment of the Hubbard model. Despite it being a higher-order effect, it can dramatically influence the magnetic ordering. We show that as an effective interaction between impurity spins, the ring exchange can also compete with the more familiar two-spin interactions. |
