Sadrolashrafi§ Department of Physics, Sharif University of Technology, P.O. Box 11365-9161, Tehran, Iran (Dated: December 28, 2006) Abstract We investigate quantum phase transitions in ladders of spin 1/2 particles by engineering suitable matrix product states for these ladders. We take into account both discrete and continuous symmetries and provide general classes of such models. We also study the behavior of entanglement of different neighboring sites near the transition point and show that quantum phase transitions in these systems are accompanied by divergences in derivatives of entanglement.

We investigate the phase diagram of antiferromagnetic spin ladders with additional exchange interactions on diagonal bonds by variational and numerical methods. These generalized spin ladders interpolate smoothly between the S = 1/2 chain with competing nn and nnn interactions, the S = 1/2 chain with alternating exchange and the antiferromagnetic S = 1 chain. The Majumdar-Ghosh ground states ar...
متن کاملThe Scaling of Entanglement Entropy for One Spatial XXZ Spin Chain
We investigate the scaling of entanglement entropy for one spatial XXZ spin chain by using matrix product states to approximate ground states. The entanglement entropy scales logarithmically with a coefficient that is determined by the associated conformal field theory, the quantum phase transitions occurred between Large-D and Halde phase, Halde phase and Neel phase. The scaling relation-ship ...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions in matrix product systems.
We investigate quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in spin chain systems characterized by local Hamiltonians with matrix product ground states. We show how to theoretically engineer such QPT points between states with predetermined properties. While some of the characteristics of these transitions are familiar, like the appearance of singularities in the thermodynamic limit, diverging correlation ...
