Scaling phenomena driven by inhomogeneous conditions at first-order quantum transitions
Massimo Campostrini, Jacopo Nespolo, Andrea Pelissetto +1
We investigate the effects of smooth inhomogeneities at first-order quantum transitions (FOQT), such as those arising from the presence of a space-dependent external field, which s…
Finite-size scaling at the first-order quantum transitions of quantum Potts chains
Massimo Campostrini, Jacopo Nespolo, Andrea Pelissetto +1
We investigate finite-size effects in quantum systems at first-order quantum transitions. For this purpose we consider the one-dimensional q-state Potts models which undergo a firs…
Finite-size scaling at first-order quantum transitions
Massimo Campostrini, Jacopo Nespolo, Andrea Pelissetto +1
We study finite-size effects at first-order quantum transitions (FOQTs). We show that the low-energy properties show a finite-size scaling (FSS) behavior, the relevant scaling vari…
