Analysis of quantum phase transition in some different Curie-Weiss models: a unified approach

Abstract

A unified approach to the analysis of quantum phase transitions in some different Curie-Weiss models is proposed such that they are treated and analyzed under the same general scheme. This approach takes three steps: balancing the quantum Hamiltonian by an appropriate factor, rewriting the Hamiltonian in terms of $SU(2)$ operators only, and obtention of a classical Hamiltonian. $SU(2)$ operators are obtained from creation and annihilation operators as linear combinations in the case of fermions and as an inverse Holstein-Primakoff transformation in the case of bosons. This scheme is successfully applied to Lipkin, pairing, Jaynes-Cummings, bilayer, and Heisenberg models.

The Phase Diagram of the Quantum Curie-Weiss Model

L. Chayes, Nicholas Crawford, Dmitry Ioffe +1 more

ABSTRACT. This paper studies a generalization of the Curie-Weiss model (the Ising model on a complete graph) to quantum mechanics. Using a natural probabilistic representation of this model, we give a complete picture of the phase diagram of the model in the parameters of inverse temperature and transverse field strength. Further analysis computes the critical exponent for the decay of the order parameter in the approach to the critical curve and gives useful stability properties of a variational problem associated with the representation. 1.

Application of an inverse Holstein-Primakoff transformation to the Jaynes-Cummings model

Carla Maria Pontes Carneiro, G. Q. Pellegrino

A modification of the Holstein-Primakoff transformation is proposed such that creation and annihilation operators for a bosonic field are rewritten as operators of a $SU(2)$ algebra. Once it is applied to a quantum Hamiltonian, a subsequent application of the prescription by Lieb to obtain the classical limit for spin operators allows one to write efficiently a classical Hamiltonian for the system. This process is illustrated for the $M$-atom Jaynes-Cummings model.

Dual algebraic structures for pairing models

FRANCESCO IACHELLO

Duality relations for pairing models are discussed in an unified framework for bosons and fermions. Quantum phase transitions for pairing systems are studied and analogies and differences between bosonic and fermionic systems are highlighted.

Inverse Holstein-Primakoff transformation of bosonic operators —Application to a bilayer model

Carla Maria Pontes Carneiro, G. Q. Pellegrino

Abstract An inversion of the Holstein-Primakoff transformation is proposed such that creation and annihilation operators for a bosonic field are rewritten as operators of an SU (2) algebra. In association with more common quadratic combinations for fermionic operators, that inverse transformation sets a quantum Hamiltonian fully in terms of SU (2) operators. A subsequent application of the prescription by Lieb, to obtain the classical limit for spin operators, then allows one to write effciently a classical Hamiltonian for the system. This process is illustrated for a bilayer model undergoing an (electron-hole)-to-exciton quantum phase transition.

Quantum Phase Transitions

Subir Sachdev A

Describing the physical properties of quantum materials near critical points with long-range many-body quantum entanglement, this book introduces readers to the basic theory of quantum phases, their phase transitions and their observable properties. This second edition begins with a new section suitable for an introductory course on quantum phase transitions, assuming no prior knowledge of quantum field theory. It also contains several new chapters to cover important recent advances, such as the Fermi gas near unitarity, Dirac fermions, Fermi liquids and their phase transitions, quantum magnetism, and solvable models obtained from string theory. After introducing the basic theory, it moves on to a detailed description of the canonical quantum-critical phase diagram at non-zero temperatures. Finally, a variety of more complex models are explored. This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics and particle and string theory.
