Energy eigenvalues and order parameters are calculated by exact diagonalization for the transverse Ising model on square lattices of up to 6x6 sites. Finite-size scaling is used to estimate the critical parameters of the model, confirming universality with the three-dimensional classical Ising model. Critical amplitudes are also estimated for both the energy gap and the ground-state energy.

Based on the results published recently [J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 50, 065201 (2017)], the universal finite-size contributions to the free energy of the square lattice Ising model on the $Ltimes M$ rectangle, with open boundary conditions in both dire ctions, are calculated exactly in the finite-size scaling limit $L,Mtoinfty$, $Tto T_mathrm{c}$, with fixed temperature scaling variable $xpropto(T/T_mathrm{c}-1)M$ and fixed aspect ratio $rhopropto L/M$. We derive exponentially fast converging series for the related Casimir potential and Casimir force scaling functions. At the critical point $T=T_mathrm{c}$ we confirm predictions from conformal field theory by Cardy & Peschel [Nucl. Phys. B 300, 377 (1988)] and by Kleban & Vassileva [J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 24, 3407 (1991)]. The presence of corners and the related corner free energy has dramatic impact on the Casimir scaling functions and leads to a logarithmic divergence of the Casimir potential scaling function at criticality.
Corrections to scaling in the two-dimensional scalar phi^4 model are studied based on non-perturbative analytical arguments and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation data for different lattice sizes L (from 4 to 1536) and different values of the phi^4 coupling constant lambda, i.~e., lambda = 0.1, 1, 10. According to our analysis, amplitudes of the nontrivial correction terms with the correction-to-scaling exponents omega_l < 1 become small when approaching the Ising limit (lambda --> infinity), but such corrections generally exist in the 2D phi^4 model. Analytical arguments show the existence of corrections with the exponent 3/4. The numerical analysis suggests that there exist also corrections with the exponent 1/2 and, very likely, also corrections with the exponent about 1/4, which are detectable at lambda = 0.1. The numerical tests clearly show that the structure of corrections to scaling in the 2D phi^4 model differs from the usually expected one in the 2D Ising model.
We investigate the role of a transverse field on the Ising square antiferromagnet with first-($J_1$) and second-($J_2$) neighbor interactions. Using a cluster mean-field approach, we provide a telltale characterization of the frustration effects on t he phase boundaries and entropy accumulation process emerging from the interplay between quantum and thermal fluctuations. We found that the paramagnetic (PM) and antiferromagnetic phases are separated by continuous phase transitions. On the other hand, continuous and discontinuous phase transitions, as well as tricriticality, are observed in the phase boundaries between PM and superantiferromagnetic phases. A rich scenario arises when a discontinuous phase transition occurs in the classical limit while quantum fluctuations recover criticality. We also find that the entropy accumulation process predicted to occur at temperatures close to the quantum critical point can be enhanced by frustration. Our results provide a description for the phase boundaries and entropy behavior that can help to identify the ratio $J_2/J_1$ in possible experimental realizations of the quantum $J_1$-$J_2$ Ising antiferromagnet.

An important problem in statistical physics concerns the fascinating connections between partition functions of lattice models studied in equilibrium statistical mechanics on the one hand and graph theoretical enumeration problems on the other hand. We investigate the nature of the relationship between the number of spanning trees and the partition function of the Ising model on the square lattice. The spanning tree generating function $T(z)$ gives the spanning tree constant when evaluated at $z=1$, while giving he lattice green function when differentiated. It is known that for the infinite square lattice the partition function $Z(K)$ of the Ising model evaluated at the critical temperature $K=K_c$ is related to $T(1)$. Here we show that this idea in fact generalizes to all real temperatures. We prove that $ ( Z(K) {rm sech~} 2K ~!)^2 = k expbig[ T(k) big] $, where $k= 2 tanh(2K) {rm sech}(2K)$. The identical Mahler measure connects the two seemingly disparate quantities $T(z)$ and $Z(K)$. In turn, the Mahler measure is determined by the random walk structure function. Finally, we show that the the above correspondence does not generalize in a straightforward manner to non-planar lattices.
The competition between interactions and dissipative processes in a quantum many-body system can drive phase transitions of different order. Exploiting a combination of cluster methods and quantum trajectories, we show how the systematic inclusion of (classical and quantum) nonlocal correlations at increasing distances is crucial to determine the structure of the phase diagram, as well as the nature of the transitions in strongly interacting spin systems. In practice, we focus on the paradigmatic dissipative quantum Ising model: in contrast to the non-dissipative case, its phase diagram is still a matter of debate in the literature. When dissipation acts along the interaction direction, we predict important quantitative modifications of the position of the first-order transition boundary. In the case of incoherent relaxation in the field direction, our approach confirms the presence of a second-order transition, while does not support the possible existence of multicritical points. Potentially, these results can be tested in up-to date quantum simulators of Rydberg atoms.
