In this paper, we study the ground state of a one-dimensional exactly solvable model with a spiral order. While the models energy spectra is the same as the one-dimensional transverse field Ising model, its ground state manifests spiral order with various periods. The quantum phase transition from a spiral-order phase to a paramagnetic phase is investigated in perspectives of quantum information science and mechanics. We show that the modes of the ground-state fidelity and its susceptibility can tell the change of periodicity around the critical point. We study also the spin torsion modulus which defines the coefficient of the potential energy stored under a small rotation. We find that at the critical point, it is a constant; while away from the critical point, the spin torsion modulus tends to zero.

We present a dynamical mean-field study of two-particle dynamical response functions in two-band Hubbard model across several phase transitions. We observe that the transition between theexcitonic condensate and spin-state ordered state is continuous with a narrow strip of supersolidphase separating the two. Approaching transition from the excitonic condensate is announced bysoftening of the excitonic mode at theMpoint of the Brillouin zone. Inside the spin-state orderedphase there is a magnetically ordered state with 2x2 periodicity, which has no precursor in thenormal phase.
We explain how spinons and magnons naturally arise in $mathrm{SU}(2)$ invariant spin chains when describing ground states and elementary excitations using MPS. Within this description, spinons can emerge in a spin-1 chain at a first-order transition between a symmetry-protected topological phase and a trivial phase. We provide MPS simulations for the spinon dispersion relations in a frustrated and dimerized spin-1 chain, and show that these spinons determine the low-lying spectrum in the vicinity of this transition by the formation of spinon/anti-spinon bound states.
Fracton topological order (FTO) is a new classification of correlated phases in three spatial dimensions with topological ground state degeneracy (GSD) scaling up with system size, and fractional excitations which are immobile or have restricted mobi lity. With the topological origin of GSD, FTO is immune to local perturbations, whereas a strong enough global external perturbation is expected to break the order. The critical point of the topological transition is however very challenging to identify. In this work, we propose to characterize quantum phase transition of the type-I FTOs induced by external terms and develop a theory to study analytically the critical point of the transition. In particular, for the external perturbation term creating lineon-type excitations, we predict a generic formula for the critical point of the quantum phase transition, characterized by the breaking-down of GSD. This theory applies to a board class of FTOs, including X-cube model, and for more generic FTO models under perturbations creating two-dimensional (2D) or 3D excitations, we predict the upper and lower limits of the critical point. Our work makes a step in characterizing analytically the quantum phase transition of generic fracton orders.
Recently, it has been proposed that higher-spin analogues of the Kitaev interactions $K>0$ may also occur in a number of materials with strong Hunds and spin-orbit coupling. In this work, we use Lanczos diagonalization and density matrix renormalizat ion group methods to investigate numerically the $S=1$ Kitaev-Heisenberg model. The ground-state phase diagram and quantum phase transitions are investigated by employing local and nonlocal spin correlations. We identified two ordered phases at negative Heisenberg coupling $J<0$: a~ferromagnetic phase with $langle S_i^zS_{i+1}^zrangle>0$ and an intermediate left-left-right-right phase with $langle S_i^xS_{i+1}^xrangle eq 0$. A~quantum spin liquid is stable near the Kitaev limit, while a topological Haldane phase is found for $J>0$.

We present an exact solution of an experimentally realizable and strongly interacting one-dimensional spin system which is a limiting case of a quantum Ising model with long range interaction in a transverse and longitudinal field. Pronounced quantum fluctuations lead to a strongly correlated liquid ground state. For open boundary conditions the ground state manifold consists of four degenerate sectors whose quantum numbers are determined by the orientation of the edge spins. Explicit expressions for the entanglement properties, the excitation gap as well as the exact wave functions for a couple of excited states are analytically derived and discussed.
