Critical behavior of (1+1)-dimensional transverse Ising models for spin S≥12

Abstract

The phase transitions in the ground state of (1+1)-dimensional Ising models in a transverse field are investigated for spin $S=\frac{1}{2}, 1, \frac{3}{2}, \mathrm{and} 2$. The critical fields and "thermal" and correlation exponents are calculated as a function of $S$ by the finite-size scaling method. The universality of the transition with respect to $S$ is fully confirmed. Furthermore, we elaborate on a recent conjecture by Luck and others relating the correlation exponent $\ensuremath{\eta}$ to the amplitude of a correlation length for a two-dimensional (2D) classical isotropic system. The extension of this relation to quantum chains as extremely anisotropic 2D systems has been considered. We find that while no simple prescription can be given to calculate various correlation exponents from the amplitudes, the ratios of the amplitudes of different quantities still have universal character.

Phase transitions in (1+1)-dimensional transverse Ising models for spin S≥1/2

K. A. Penson, M. Kolb

The phase transitions in the ground state of (1+1)-dimensional Ising models in a transverse field are studied for spin S=1/2, 1, 3/2, and 2 using the finite-size scaling method. The critical fields, thermal and correlation exponents are calculated as a function of S. The critical fields are monotonic functions of S but the exponents are S-independent and take their values for S=1/2. A novel calculational method based on universality of ratios of finite-size correlation length amplitudes is proposed and tested. It results in a much improved accuracy of extrapolation procedures. Such an universality appears to be a consequence of recently postulated conformal invariance of correlation functions of a class of two-dimensional classical models.

Fidelity approach to quantum phase transitions: finite-size scaling for the quantum Ising model in a transverse field

Huan-Qiang Zhou, Jian-Hui Zhao, Bo Li

We analyze the fidelity per lattice site for two different ground states of the one-dimensional quantum Ising model in a transverse field near the critical point. It is found that, in the thermodynamic limit, the fidelity per lattice site is singular, and the derivative of its logarithmic function with respect to the transverse field strength is logarithmically divergent at the critical point. The scaling behavior is confirmed numerically by performing a finite-size scaling analysis for systems of different sizes, consistent with the conformal invariance at the critical point. This allows us to extract the correlation length critical exponent, which turns out to be universal in the sense that the correlation length critical exponent does not depend on either the anisotropic parameter or the transverse field strength.

Universality of correlation-length amplitudes and their relation with critical exponents for quantum systems

K. A. Penson, M. Kolb

Recently it has been found that for several two-dimensional classical models the amplitude of the correlation length of a finite system at a critical point is universal and related to the correlation-function exponent $\ensuremath{\eta}$. Here we propose that for quantum systems the ratios of two such amplitudes are universal and are related to the ratios of the corresponding exponents. This proposition is confirmed numerically for the transverse Ising model for spin $S=\frac{1}{2},1,\frac{3}{2}, \mathrm{and} 2$. It is used to calculate $\ensuremath{\eta}$ in a simplified way.

Critical behavior of the two-dimensional Ising model in a transverse field: A density-matrix renormalization calculation

M. S. L. du Croo de Jongh, J. M. J. van Leeuwen

We have adjusted the density-matrix renormalization method to handle two-dimensional systems of limited width. The key ingredient for this extension is the incorporation of symmetries in the method. The advantage of our approach is that we can force certain symmetry properties to the resulting ground-state wave function. Combining the results obtained for system sizes up to $30\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}6$ and finite-size scaling, we derive the phase-transition point and the critical exponent for the gap in the Ising model in a transverse field on a two-dimensional square lattice.

Cluster Monte Carlo simulation of the transverse Ising model

Henk W. J. Blöte, Youjin Deng

We formulate a cluster Monte Carlo method for the anisotropic limit of Ising models on (d+1)-dimensional lattices, which in effect, are equivalent with d-dimensional quantum transverse Ising models. Using this technique, we investigate the transverse Ising models on the square, triangular, Kagome, honeycomb, and simple-cubic lattices. The Monte Carlo data are analyzed by finite-size scaling. In each case we find, as expected, that the critical behavior fits well in the (d+1)-dimensional Ising universality class. For the transverse Ising model on the square lattice, we determine the Binder cumulant of the classical counterpart for a range of aspect ratios between the system sizes in the third or "classical" direction and that in the other two directions. Matching this universal function with the case of the isotropic Ising model yields the length ratio relating the isotropic Ising model with the anisotropic limit. The efficiency of the present algorithm is reflected by the precision of its results, which improves significantly on earlier analyses.

The universal behavior of the quantum correlation of Ising model in a transverse field

Meng Qin, Zhongzhou Ren, Xin Zhang

We study the ground state quantum correlation of Ising model in a transverse field by implementing the quantum renormalization group (QRG) theory. It is shown that various quantum correlation measures and the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality will highlight the critical point related with quantum phase transitions, and demonstrate nonanalytic phenomenon and scaling behavior when the size of the system becomes large. Our results also indicate a universal behavior of the critical exponent of Ising model under QRG that the critical exponent will not change with the variation of different quantities, even when the quantities vary from entanglement measures to quantum correlation measures. This means that the two kinds of quantum correlation criterion, including the entanglement/separability paradigm and the information-theoretic paradigm, have some connections between them. These remarkable behaviors may have important implications on condensed matter physics because the critical exponent directly associates with the correlation length exponent.

The phase transitions in the ground state of (1+1)-dimensional Ising models in a transverse field are investigated for spin S=12,1,32,and2S=\frac{1}{2}, 1, \frac{3}{2}, \mathrm{and} 2S=21​,1,23​,and2. The critical fields and "thermal" and correlation exponents are calculated as a function of SSS by the finite-size scaling method. The universality of the transition with respect to SSS is fully confirmed. Furthermore, we elaborate on a recent conjecture by Luck and others relating the correlation exponent \ensuremathη\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremathη to the amplitude of a correlation length for a two-dimensional (2D) classical isotropic system. The extension of this relation to quantum chains as extremely anisotropic 2D systems has been considered.
