We study the spin-S Kitaev model in the classical (S→∞) limit using Monte Carlo simulations combined with semiclassical spin dynamics. We discuss differences and similarities in the dynamical structure factors of the spin-1/2 and the classical Kitaev liquids. The quantum behavior is restricted to low temperatures where a gap protects visons from decohering the system. Once this quantum gap is breached, at low temperatures compared to the coupling constant, significant entropic disorder decoheres the Majorana fermions and the system is described quantitatively by classical dynamics. The low-temperature and low-energy spectrum of the classical model exhibits a finite-energy peak, which is the precursor of the one produced by the Majorana modes of the S=1/2 model. The classical peak is spectrally narrowed compared to the quantum result and can be explained by magnon excitations within fluctuating one-dimensional manifolds (loops). Hence the difference from the classical limit to the quantum limit can be understood by the fractionalization of magnons propagating in one-dimensional manifolds. Moreover, we show that the momentum-space distribution of the low-energy spectral weight of the S=1/2 model follows the momentum-space distribution of zero modes of the classical model.
