H₃LiIr₂O₆ is a material considered to best fit the archetype for being a special type of quantum spin liquid called a Kitaev spin liquid. Though known not to freeze at cold temperatures, H₃LiIr₂O₆ is notoriously difficult to produce in a lab and is known to have disorder in it, muddying whether it was truly a spin liquid.^[1]

H₃LiIr₂O₆ is considered to be a spin liquid that is proximate to the Kitaev-limit quantum spin liquid. Its ground state shows no magnetic order or spin freezing as expected for the spin liquid state. However, hydrogen zero-point motion and stacking faults are known to be present.^[2]
