The physics of quantum Ising model (qIm) plays an important role in quantum many body system. We study and present the results of qIm and longer range quantum Ising model (lqIm) in presence of strong correlation. We do the quantum field theoretical renormalization group (RG) calculation to study the behaviour of RG flow lines for different couplings for different region of parameter space. We show how the strong correlation effect enrich the quantum physics of these two systems. We show explicitly that the ordered ferromagnetic (FM) phase to the disorder quantum paramagnet (dqpI) quantum phase transition occurs for only in the strongly correlated regime for qIm and the dqpI phase appears for non-interacting and attractive regime. We show explicitly for lqIm that FM to dqpI transition occurs at the extremely correlated region and also the dqpI phase appears in correlated regime. We show that short range FM coupling and longer range coupling are competiting with each other and also the effect of strong correlation in this competition. We also show the most interesting feature that the transverse field oppose the FM coupling of qIm but it is favour the longer range coupling of lqIm. We find the evidence of another disorder quantum paramagnetic (dqpII) phase due to the relevance of longer range coupling. We also present the existence of another quantum phase transition from dqpII phase to FM phase. We show explicitly that there is no phase transition from dqpI phase to dqpII phase rather they coexists. This work provides a new perspective not only for the statistical physics of quantum Ising model but also for the quantum many body systems.

A new method of studying dynamical phase transitions in strongly correlated quantum systems can predict transitions based on energy fluctuations in the system, paving the way for new studies of far-from-equilibrium dynamics.
