The critical behavior of the random transverse-field Ising model in finite dimensional lattices is governed by infinite disorder fixed points, several properties of which have already been calculated by the use of the strong disorder renormalization group (SDRG) method. Here we extend these studies and calculate the connected transverse-spin correlation function by a numerical implementation of the SDRG method in $d=1,2$ and $3$ dimensions. At the critical point an algebraic ...

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 parameters of the Hamiltonian. The critical behaviour for the nonuniform and the uniform chain...

A previously introduced real space renormalization-group treatment of the random transverse-field Ising spin chain is extended to provide detailed information on the distribution of the energy gap and the end-to-end correlation function for long chains with free boundary conditions. Numerical data, using the mapping of the problem to free fermions, are found to be in good agreement with the analytic finite size scaling predictions.

Experimental systems with a first order phase transition will often exhibit hysteresis when out of equilibrium. If defects are present, the hysteresis loop can have different shapes: with small disorder the hysteresis loop has a macroscopic jump, while for large disorder the hysteresis loop is smooth. The transition between these two shapes is critical, with diverging length scales and power laws. We simulate such a system with the zero temperature random field Ising model, i...

We study the influence of Ohmic dissipation on the random transverse-field Ising chain by means of large-scale Monte-Carlo simulations. To this end, we first map the Hamiltonian onto a classical Ising model with long-range $1/\tau^2$ interaction in the time-like direction. We then apply the highly efficient cluster algorithm proposed by Luijten and Bl\"ote for system with long-range interactions. Our simulations show that Ohmic dissipation destroys the infinite-randomness qua...

The spin-1/2 quantum Ising chain in a transverse random magnetic field is studied by means of the density-matrix renormalization group. The system evolves from an ordered to a paramagnetic state as the amplitude of the random field is increased. The dependence of the magnetization on a uniform magnetic field in the z direction and the spontaneous magnetization as a function of the amplitude of the transverse random magnetic field are determined. The behavior of the spin-spin ...

We present some exact results for the effect of disorder on the critical properties of an anisotropic XY spin chain in a transverse field. The continuum limit of the corresponding fermion model is taken and in various cases results in a Dirac equation with a random mass. Exact analytic techniques can then be used to evaluate the density of states and the localization length. In the presence of disorder the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic or Ising transition of the model is in the ...

We consider random transverse-field Ising spin chains and study the magnetization and the energy-density profiles by numerically exact calculations in rather large finite systems ($L\le 128$). Using different boundary conditions (free, fixed and mixed) the numerical data collapse to scaling functions, which are very accurately described by simple analytic expressions. The average magnetization profiles satisfy the Fisher-de Gennes scaling conjecture and the corresponding scal...

Quantum systems can exhibit a great deal of universality at low temperature due to the structure of ground states and the critical points separating distinct states. On the other hand, quantum time evolution of the same systems involves all energies and it is therefore thought to be much harder, if at all possible, to have sharp transitions in the dynamics. In this paper we show that phase transitions characterized by universal singularities do occur in the time evolution of ...

A phase transition indicates a sudden change in the properties of a large system. For temperature-driven phase transitions this is related to non-analytic behavior of the free energy density at the critical temperature: The knowledge of the free energy density in one phase is insufficient to predict the properties of the other phase. In this paper we show that a close analogue of this behavior can occur in the real time evolution of quantum systems, namely non-analytic behavi...
