Abstract
The one-dimensional extended quantum compass model in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is considered. Induced effects of the transverse magnetic field on the ground state of the system are studied from the viewpoint of fidelity. Using the numerical Lanczos method, the fidelity and susceptibility of fidelity are computed in finite chains. The critical exponent of the fidelity susceptibility is obtained in good agreement with the scaling behavior of the correlation length. In addition, the von Neumann entropy is calculated and its signature on the quantum phase transition is shown.
