Effects of Gaussian disorder on the dynamics of the random transverse Ising model

Zhongqiang Liu, Xiang-Mu Kong, Xiaosong Chen

The effects of Gaussian disorder on the dynamics of the one-dimensional spin-1/2 random transverse Ising model are studied in the high-temperature limit by the recursion method. Both spin autocorrelation functions and the corresponding spectral densities are calculated for three types of disordered cases. It is found that when the standard deviation ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{J}$ of the exchange coupling (or the standard deviation ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{B}$ of the random transverse field) is small, the dynamics of the system undergoes two crossovers in sequence as the mean value of the exchange coupling (or the random transverse field) varies: from a central-peak behavior to a collective-mode one, and then to the precession of free spins in an external transverse magnetic field. However, when ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{J}$ or ${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{B}$ are large enough, there is no crossover, i.e., the dynamics of the system shows a central-peak behavior and a disordered behavior, respectively.

A statistical mechanism for operator growth

Xiangyu Cao

Abstract It was recently conjectured that in generic quantum many-body systems, the spectral density of local operators has the slowest high-frequency decay as permitted by locality. We show that the infinite-temperature version of this ‘universal operator growth hypothesis’ holds for the quantum Ising spin model in d ⩾ 2 dimensions, and for the chaotic Ising chain (with longitudinal and transverse fields) in one dimension. Moreover, the disordered chaotic Ising chain that exhibits many-body localization can have the same high-frequency spectral density asymptotics as thermalizing models. Our argument is statistical in nature, and is based on the observation that the moments of the spectral density can be written as a sign-problem-free sum over paths of Pauli string operators.

Dynamics of the spin-1/2 Ising two-leg ladder with four-spin plaquette interaction and transverse field

Wescley Luiz de Souza, Érica de Mello Silva, P. H. L. Martins

Multiple-spin coupling is a key tool for investigating magnetic quantum systems. In particular, models with four-spin interactions became of great interest since they have been applied to describe material properties such as superconductivity. In this framework, the dynamics of the spin-1/2 Ising two-leg ladder with four-spin plaquette interaction in a transverse field is investigated. By means of the recurrence relations method, the first four recurrants are determined exactly for the general model, while five exact recurrants are calculated for two particular models. In all cases, higher-order recurrants are computed through extrapolation to obtain time-dependent autocorrelation functions and spectral densities in the long-time regime and infinite-temperature limit. It is found that the relaxation functions decay slower than the expected behavior of the one-dimensional transverse Ising model. The spectral lines, characterized by a Lorentzian behavior in the central body and a Gaussian shape in the tails, display exchange narrowing as the coupling intensities increase.
