Quantum Phase Transition in the One-Dimensional XZ Model

Abstract: We introduce a one-dimensional XZ model with alternating σ interactions on even/odd bonds, interpolating between the Ising model and the quantum compass model. We present two ways of its exact solution by: (i) mapping to the quantum Ising models, and (ii) using fermions with spin 1/2. In certain cases the nearest neighbor pseudospin correlations change discontinuously at the quantum phase transition, where one finds highly degenerate ground state of the 1D compass model.

“…d is called holistic degeneracy in this paper, and meanwhile, it represents the minimum degeneracy of the system. Therefore, it is straightforward to conclude that the ground state of the 1D compass model is 2 N/2−1 -fold degenerate, which is identical to the result obtained by the reflection positivity technique [24] and by mapping to the quantum Ising models [19].…”

“…At present, the compass model is known to own various symmetries [18]; hence, we naturally search a case in the compass model. Indeed, the 1D compass model [14,19] (for one's interest in recent progress, see [20][21][22]), which is also referred to as the reduced Kitaev model [23], is found to be a case of our proposition. The 1D compass model has the following Hamiltonian:…”

“…It is shown that the 1D quantum compass model exhibits a first-order phase transition between two disordered phases with opposite signs of certain local spin correlations. The model is also diagonalized exactly by a direct Jordan-Wigner transformation [3]. The obtained by latter approach results, confirm the existence of the first-order phase transition in the ground state phase diagram.…”
