Quantum phase transition of the transverse-field quantum Ising model on scale-free networks

Abstract

I investigate the quantum phase transition of the transverse-field quantum Ising model in which nearest neighbors are defined according to the connectivity of scale-free networks. Using a continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo simulation method and the finite-size scaling analysis, I identify the quantum critical point and study its scaling characteristics. For the degree exponent $\lambda =6$, I obtain results that are consistent with the mean-field theory. For $\lambda =4.5$ and $4$, however, the results suggest that the quantum critical point belongs to a non-mean-field universality class. The deviation from the mean-field theory becomes more pronounced for smaller $\lambda$.
