Abstract

We study quantum resonance behavior of the infinite-range kinetic Ising model at zero temperature. Numerical integration of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in the presence of an external magnetic field in the z direction is performed at various transverse field strengths g. It is revealed that two resonance peaks occur when the energy gap matches the external driving frequency at two distinct values of g, one below and the other above the quantum phase transition. From the similar observations already made in classical systems with phase transitions, we propose that the double resonance peaks should be a generic feature of continuous transitions, for both quantum and classical many-body systems.

Infinite-range Ising ferromagnet in a time-dependent transverse magnetic field: Quench and ac dynamics near the quantum critical point

Arnab Das, K. Sengupta, Diptiman Sen +1 more

We study an infinite-range ferromagnetic Ising model in the presence of a transverse magnetic field, which exhibits a quantum paramagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition at a critical value of the transverse field. In the thermodynamic limit, the low-temperature properties of this model are dominated by the behavior of a single large classical spin governed by an anisotropic Hamiltonian. Using this property, we study the quench and ac dynamics of the model both numerically and analytically, and develop a correspondence between the classical phase-space dynamics of a single spin and the quantum dynamics of the infinite-range ferromagnetic Ising model. In particular, we compare the behavior of the equal-time order-parameter correlation function both near to and away from the quantum critical point in the presence of a quench or ac transverse field. We explicitly demonstrate that a clear signature of the quantum critical point can be obtained by studying the ac dynamics of the system even in the classical limit. We discuss possible realizations of our model in experimental systems.

Resonance Phenomena in Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling: the small viscosity limit.

Yu. N. Ovchinnikov, ROMBETTO S., B. Ruggiero +2 more

We present a theoretical study of the resonant quantum behavior for a macroscopic superconducting system interacting with an external microwave at proper frequency. Here we consider a system described by a double well potential, an rf-SQUID, in the extremely underdamped regime. Numerical simulations for resonant phenomena have been performed for this system, whose parameters belong to the range typically used in the experiments. The dependence of the transition probability W on the external drive of the system, φx, can show three resonance peaks, in a small microwave frequency range. One peak is connected with the anticrossing and the other two with the external microwave frequency ν. The relative position and the height of the two lateral peaks depend on the microwave frequency. This behavior is studied here for the first time.

Quantum and Thermal Fluctuations in the Ising Chains: A Case Study of Spin-Two System

S. Ehika, O. J. Ataman, SE Iyayi

For a system at absolute zero temperature, all thermal fluctuations are frozen out, while quantum fluctuations prevail.These microscopic quantum fluctuations can induce a quantum phase transition (QPT) in the ground state of a many-body system when the relative strength of two competing energy terms is varied across a critical value.This paper presents a detailed and quantitative study of the magnetic properties of Ising two-spin system at zero temperature in the presence of longitudinal, transverse and mixed fields, and also at finite temperatures.At the critical longitudinal magnetic field, the system is found to undergo a QPT to a ferromagnetic state.For this system, an infinitesimal departure from zero transverse field is found to trigger off QPT and also remove the degeneracies that persisted even in the presence of longitudinal field.These quantum fluctuations, leading to QPT are more evident in the mixed field than the separate effect of longitudinal and transverse fields.The observed quantum effects at zero temperature for this system are found to be completely wiped out at finite temperatures due to thermal fluctuations.A temperature increase favours antiferromagnetic alignment of spins, while a decrease in temperature favours ferromagnetic alignment.

Exact results for the criticality of quench dynamics in quantum Ising models

Ying Li, Mingxia Huo, Z. Song

Based on the obtained exact results we systematically study the quench dynamics of a one-dimensional spin-1/2 transverse field Ising model with zero- and finite-temperature initial states. We focus on the magnetization of the system after a sudden change of the external field and a coherent time-evolution process. With a zero-temperature initial state, the quench magnetic susceptibility as a function of the initial field strength exhibits strongly similar scaling behaviors to those of the static magnetic susceptibility, and the quench magnetic susceptibility as a function of the final field strength shows a discontinuity at the quantum critical point. This discontinuity remains robust and always occurs at the quantum critical point even for the case of finite-temperature initial systems, which indicates a great advantage of employing quench dynamics to study quantum phase transitions.

Quantum Critical Behavior of the Infinite-range Transverse Ising Spin Glass : An Exact Numerical Diagonalization Study

Parongama Sen, Purusattam Ray, Bikas K. Chakrabarti

We report exact numerical diagonalization results of the infinite-range Ising spin glass in a transverse field $Γ$ at zero temperature. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are determined for various strengths of $Γ$ and for system sizes $N \le 16$. We obtain the moments of the distribution of the spin-glass order parameter, the spin-glass susceptibility and the mass gap at different values of $Γ$. The disorder averaging is done typically over 1000 configurations. Our finite size scaling analysis indicates a spin glass transition at $Γ_c \simeq 1.5$. Our estimates for the exponents at the transition are in agreement with those known from other approaches. For the dynamic exponent, we get $z=2.1 \pm 0.1$ which is in contradiction with a recent estimate ($z=4$). Our cumulant analysis indicates the existence of a replica symmetric spin glass phase for $Γ< Γ_c$.

Quantum Ising chains with boundary fields

Massimo Campostrini B, Andrea Pelissetto C, Ettore Vicari

We present a detailed study of the finite one-dimensional quantum Ising chain in a transverse field in the presence of boundary magnetic fields coupled with the order-parameter spin operator. We consider two magnetic fields located at the boundaries of the chain that have the same strength and that are aligned in the same or in the opposite direction. We derive analytic expressions for the gap in all phases for large values of the chain length L , as a function of the boundary field strength. We also investigate the behaviour of the chain in the quantum ferromagnetic phase for oppositely aligned fields, focusing on the magnet-to-kink transition that occurs at a finite value of the magnetic field strength. At this transition we compute analytically the finite-size crossover functions for the gap, the magnetisation profile, the two-point correlation function, and the density of fermionic modes. As the magnet-to-kink transition is equivalent to the wetting transition in two-dimensional classical Ising models, our results provide new analytic predictions for the finite-size behaviour of Ising systems in a strip geometry at this transition.
