Quantum Phase Transitions in Alternating Transverse Ising Chains
This chapter is devoted to a discussion of quantum phase transitions in regularly alternating spin1 2 Ising chain in a transverse field. After recalling some generally-known topics of the classical (temperature-driven) phase transition theory and some basic concepts of the quantum phase transition theory I pass to the statistical mechanics calculations for a one-dimensional spin1 2 Ising model ...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions in alternating transverse Ising chains: Rigorous analytical and exact numerical results
We examine the ground state properties of the s = 1 2 transverse Ising chain with regularly alternating bonds and fields using exact analytical results and exact numerical data for long (up to N = 900) and short (N = 20) chains. For a given period of alternation the system may exhibit a series of quantum phase transitions, where the number of transitions depends on the concrete set of the param...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanical Studies of Heisenberg Antiferromagnetic Spin Chains
In this thesis we examine the magnetic properties of 1-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin chains theoretically and we discuss the difficulties associated with obtaining exact solutions for the energy levels of these systems. The theoretical description for the magnetic interactions in these systems is based on the Heisenberg Hamiltonian. We explore the implementation of approximation techniques...
متن کاملQuantum communication through anisotropic Heisenberg XY spin chains
We study quantum communication through an anisotropic Heisenberg XY chain in a transverse magnetic field. We find that for some time t and anisotropy parameter γ, one can transfer a state with a relatively high fidelity. In the strong-field regime, the anisotropy does not significantly affect the fidelity while in the weak-field regime the affect is quite pronounced. The most interesting case i...
متن کاملZero temperature phase transitions in quantum Heisenberg ferromagnets
The purpose of this work is to understand the zero temperature phases, and the phase transitions, of Heisenberg spin systems which can have an extensive, spontaneous magnetic moment; this entails a study of quantum transitions with an order parameter which is also a non-abelian conserved charge. To this end, we introduce and study a new class of lattice models of quantum rotors. We compute thei...
