Dynamical quantum Fisher information in the Ising model

In terms of quantum Fisher information, we discuss the dynamics of quantity ${\chi }^2$ of the Ising model. The inequality ${\chi }^2<1$ detects the class of entangled states which are useful for sub-shot-noise sensitivity. All the exact dynamics of the expectations of collective spin operators are derived. The minimum ${\chi }^2$ in the plane perpendicular to the mean spin direction is analytically given. We find that ${\chi }^2$ does not depend on the system size $N$ when $N\ge 4$. Except for the periodic points, the evolution states are always entangled and useful for the sub-shot-noise phase estimation.     

Dynamics of a quantum phase transition: exact solution of the quantum Ising model

The Quantum Ising model is an exactly solvable model of quantum phase transition. This Letter gives an exact solution when the system is driven through the critical point at a finite rate. The evolution goes through a series of Landau-Zener level anticrossings when pairs of quasiparticles with opposite pseudomomenta get excited with a probability depending on the transition rate. The average density of defects excited in this way scales like a square root of the transition rate. This scaling is the same as the scaling obtained when the standard Kibble-Zurek mechanism of thermodynamic second order phase transitions is applied to the quantum phase transition in the Ising model.     

Classial and quantum solitons in the transverse field Ising model

We investigate the shape and the dynamics of domain walls in the one-dimensional Ising model with spin S, exchange constant J and external transverse field Γ using numerical calculations up to S = 20 and analytical approximations. For $\tfrac{\Gamma } {{JS}}$ \] we describe classical domain walls as strongly localized excitations, which have either central spin or central bond symmetry. These symmetries are identified also in the quantum case, when solitary excitations develop into energy bands. In the classical limit S → ∞ localization results from the exponential vanishing of the bandwidth for the lowest bands. We describe the relation between the spectrum of moving classical solitons and the quantum band structure.     

GPU-based single-cluster algorithm for the simulation of the Ising model

We present the GPU calculation with the common unified device architecture (CUDA) for the Wolff single-cluster algorithm of the Ising model. Proposing an algorithm for a quasi-block synchronization, we realize the Wolff single-cluster Monte Carlo simulation with CUDA. We perform parallel computations for the newly added spins in the growing cluster. As a result, the GPU calculation speed for the two-dimensional Ising model at the critical temperature with the linear size L = 4096 is 5.60 times as fast as the calculation speed on a current CPU core. For the three-dimensional Ising model with the linear size L = 256, the GPU calculation speed is 7.90 times as fast as the CPU calculation speed. The idea of quasi-block synchronization can be used not only in the cluster algorithm but also in many fields where the synchronization of all threads is required.     

Monte Carlo simulation of three-dimensional dilute Ising model

A multispin coding program for site-diluted Ising models on large simple cubic lattices is described in detail. The spontaneous magnetization is computed as a function of temperature, and the critical temperature as a function of concentration is found to agree well with the data of Marro et al.⁽⁴⁾ and Landau⁽³⁾ for smaller systems.The first successful epsilon expansion seems to be by D. E. Khmelnitskii,ZhETF 68:1960 (1975), English translationSov. Phys. JETP 41:981 (1975); for numerical estimates see K. E. Newman and E. K. Riedel,Phys. Rev. H25:264 (1982), for experiments see R. J. Birgenau, R. A. Cowley, G. Shirane and H. Yoshizawa,J. Stat. Phys. 34:817 (1984).     

Spectrum and correlation functions of a quasi-one-dimensional quantum Ising model

For a model of weakly coupled quantum Ising chains we outline the phase diagram and establish that well below the transition line the system has a remarkably one-dimensional spectrum. We study the dynamical magnetic susceptibility and find a very rich spectrum with several modes corresponding to a fundamental particle and its bound states. The approach is based on the Bethe ansatz and the random phase approximation applied to the interchain exchange.     

Analysis of a long-range random field quantum antiferromagnetic Ising model

We introduce a solvable quantum antiferromagnetic model. The model, with Ising spins in a transverse field, has infinite range antiferromagnetic interactions and random fields on each site following an arbitrary distribution. As is well-known, frustration in the random field Ising model gives rise to a many valley structure in the spin-configuration space. In addition, the antiferromagnetism also induces a regular frustration even for the ground state. In this paper, we investigate analytically the critical phenomena in the model, having both randomness and frustration and we report some analytical results for it.     

次近邻作用对随机量子Ising系统动力学性质的影响

利用递推关系方法在高温极限下研究了具有次近邻自旋耦合相互作用的一维随机量子Ising系统的动力学性质,求解了系统的自关联函数及谱密度.假设自旋耦合参量或横向磁场满足双高斯分布,研究发现当随机变量的标准偏差σJ(σB)较小时系统的动力学性质存在从集体模行为到中心峰值行为的交跨效应,当σJ(σB)较大时,交跨效应消失,系统只表现一种动力学行为.讨论了次近邻相互作用对系统动力学性质的影响,发现当KiJ2i(Ji和Ki分别为近邻和次近邻相互作用)时次近邻相互作用对系统动力学性质的影响不太明显,可以忽略;当Ki2Ji时,次近邻相互作用使得系统的中心峰值行为表现得更加明显,或使其集体模行为呈减弱的趋势.     

Rigorous solution of the spin-1 quantum Ising model with single-ion anisotropy

We solve the spin-1 quantum Ising model with single-ion anisotropy by mapping it onto a series of segmented spin-1/2 transverse Ising chains, separated by the S(z)=0 states called holes. A recursion formula is derived for the partition function to simplify the summation of hole configurations. This allows the thermodynamic quantities of this model to be rigorously determined in the thermodynamic limit. The low temperature behavior is governed by the interplay between the hole excitations and the fermionic excitations within each spin-1/2 Ising segment. The quantum critical fluctuations around the Ising critical point of the transverse Ising model are strongly suppressed by the hole excitations.     

Completeness of the classical 2D Ising model and universal quantum computation

We prove that the 2D Ising model is complete in the sense that the partition function of any classical q-state spin model (on an arbitrary graph) can be expressed as a special instance of the partition function of a 2D Ising model with complex inhomogeneous couplings and external fields. In the case where the original model is an Ising or Potts-type model, we find that the corresponding 2D square lattice requires only polynomially more spins with respect to the original one, and we give a constructive method to map such models to the 2D Ising model. For more general models the overhead in system size may be exponential. The results are established by connecting classical spin models with measurement-based quantum computation and invoking the universality of the 2D cluster states.     

The sign factor of the three-dimensional Ising model and the quantum fermionic string

The sign factor ensuring the cancellation of self-intersecting two-dimensional surfaces in the partition function of the three-dimensional Ising model is defined. The possible equivalence of the continuum limit of the three-dimensional Ising gauge model to the Dirac action induced on two-dimensional surfaces is pointed out.     

The classical Ising model: A quantum renormalization group approach

Proceeding from the equivalence between the d-dimentional classical Ising model and the (d?1)-dimentional quantum mechanical Ising model in a transverse magnetic field, we study the critical properties of the classical model via the quantum mechanical model. Quantum renormalization group transformations based on the truncation method and the ground state projection operator method are used to calculate the critical exponents. They are found to agree well with the “exact” values.     

Ising transition in the two-dimensional quantum J1-J2 Heisenberg model

We study the thermodynamics of the spin-S two-dimensional quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the square lattice with nearest (J1) and next-nearest (J2) neighbor couplings in its collinear phase (J(2)/J(1)>0.5), using the pure-quantum self-consistent harmonic approximation. Our results show the persistence of a finite-temperature Ising phase transition for every value of the spin, provided that the ratio J(2)/J(1) is greater than a critical value corresponding to the onset of collinear long-range order at zero temperature. We also calculate the spin and temperature dependence of the collinear susceptibility and correlation length, and we discuss our results in light of the experiments on Li2VOSiO4 and related compounds.     

The relativistic quantum fields of the D = 2 Ising model

We identify the correct field operators which correspond to the order and disorder variables of the D = 2 Ising model. After infinite resummations we obtain equality between our correlation functions and the correlation functions of McCoy, Tracy and Wu [4].
