Abstract
Mesonic bound states of domain walls (DWs) can be stabilized in quasi-one-dimensional magnetic compounds. Here, we theoretically study the Raman light scattering response of a twisted Kitaev chain with tilted magnetic fields as a minimal model for confinement in CoNb2O6. By both numerical matrix product states and few-DW variational states, we show that confinement-induced bound states directly manifest themselves as sharp peaks in the Raman response. Remarkably, by tuning the polarization of the incident light field, we demonstrate that the Raman response offers insights into the intrinsic symmetry of the bound-state wave function.
