We consider quantum Heisenberg ferro- and antiferromagnets on the square lattice with exchange anisotropy of easy-plane or easy-axis type. The thermodynamics and the critical behaviour of the models are studied by the pure-quantum self-consistent harmonic approximation, in order to evaluate the spin and anisotropy dependence of the critical temperatures. Results for thermodynamic quantities are reported and comparison with experimental and numerical simulation data is made. The obtained results allow us to draw a general picture of the subject and, in particular, to estimate the value of the critical temperature for any model belonging to the considered class.

When a quantum many-particle system exists on a randomly diluted lattice, its intrinsic thermal and quantum fluctuations coexist with geometric fluctuations due to percolation. In this paper, we explore how the interplay of these fluctuations influen ces the phase transition at the percolation threshold. While it is well known that thermal fluctuations generically destroy long-range order on the critical percolation cluster, the effects of quantum fluctuations are more subtle. In diluted quantum magnets with and without dissipation, this leads to novel universality classes for the zero-temperature percolation quantum phase transition. Observables involving dynamical correlations display nonclassical scaling behavior that can nonetheless be determined exactly in two dimensions.
We investigate the nature of trions, pairing and quantum phase transitions in one-dimensional strongly attractive three-component ultracold fermions in external fields. Exact results for the groundstate energy, critical fields, magnetization and phas e diagrams are obtained analytically from the Bethe ansatz solutions. Driven by Zeeman splitting, the system shows exotic phases of trions, bound pairs, a normal Fermi liquid and four mixtures of these states. Particularly, a smooth phase transition from a trionic phase into a pairing phase occurs as the highest hyperfine level separates from the two lower energy levels. In contrast, there is a smooth phase transition from the trionic phase into a normal Fermi liquid as the lowest level separates from the two higher levels.

Most common types of symmetry breaking in quasi-one-dimensional electronic systems possess a combined manifold of states degenerate with respect to both the phase $theta$ and the amplitude $A$ sign of the order parameter $Aexp(itheta)$. These degrees of freedom can be controlled or accessed independently via either the spin polarization or the charge densities. To understand statistical properties and the phase diagram in the course of cooling under the controlled parameters, we present here an analytical treatment supported by Monte Carlo simulations for a generic coarse-grained two-fields model of XY-Ising type. The degeneracies give rise to two coexisting types of topologically nontrivial configurations: phase vortices and amplitude kinks -- the solitons. In 2D, 3D states with long-range (or BKT type) orders, the topological confinement sets in at a temperature $T=T_1$ which binds together the kinks and unusual half-integer vortices. At a lower $T=T_2$, the solitons start to aggregate into walls formed as rods of amplitude kinks which are ultimately terminated by half-integer vortices. With lowering $T$, the walls multiply passing sequentially across the sample. The presented results indicate a possible physical realization of a peculiar system of half-integer vortices with rods of amplitude kinks connecting their cores. Its experimental realization becomes feasible in view of recent successes in real space observations and even manipulations of domain walls in correlated electronic systems.
A sudden quantum quench of a Bloch band from one topological phase toward another has been shown to exhibit an intimate connection with the notion of a dynamical quantum phase transition (DQPT), where the returning probability of the quenched state t o the initial state---i.e. the Loschmidt echo---vanishes at critical times ${t^{*}}$. Analytical results so far are limited to two-band models, leaving the exact relation between topology and DQPT unclear. In this work, we show that for a general multi-band system, a robust DQPT relies on the existence of nodes (i.e. zeros) in the wavefunction overlap between the initial band and the post-quench energy eigenstates. These nodes are topologically protected if the two participating wavefunctions have distinctive topological indices. We demonstrate these ideas in detail for both one and two spatial dimensions using a three-band generalized Hofstadter model. We also discuss possible experimental observations.

Let a general quantum many-body system at a low temperature adiabatically cross through the vicinity of the systems quantum critical point. We show that the systems temperature is significantly suppressed due to both the entropy majorization theorem in quantum information science and the entropy conservation law in adiabatic processes. We take the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model and spinless fermion system as concrete examples to show that the inverse temperature might become divergent around their critical points. Since the temperature is a measurable quantity in experiments, our work, therefore, provides a practicable proposal to detect quantum phase transitions.
