Abstract
We study the fidelity susceptibility of a quantum antiferromagnetic Ising chain with a long-range power-law interaction $1/{r}^{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ using the large-scale density matrix renormalization group method. We find that the critical adiabatic dimension $\ensuremath{\mu}=2$ and the critical exponent of the correlation length $\ensuremath{\nu}=1$ for arbitrary $\ensuremath{\alpha}>0$, indicating all quantum phase transitions are second-order Ising transitions. In addition, we numerically determine the complete phase diagram for $0<\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{\le}3$ from the data collapse of the fidelity susceptibility and show that the critical point ${h}_{c}$ changes monotonously with respect to $\ensuremath{\alpha}$. This work will shed light on the nature of phase transitions in the quantum long-range antiferromagnetic Ising chain from a quantum information perspective.
