  • Title: Quantum phase transitions in networks of Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick models.
    Author: Sorokin AV, Bastidas VM, Brandes T.
    Journal: Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys; 2014 Oct; 90(4):042141. PubMed ID: 25375472.
    Abstract:
    We study the quantum critical behavior of networks consisting of Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick models with an anisotropic ferromagnetic coupling. We focus on the low-energy properties of the system within a mean-field approach and the quantum corrections around the mean-field solution. Our results show that the weak-coupling regime corresponds to the paramagnetic phase when the local field dominates the dynamics, but the local anisotropy leads to the existence of an exponentially degenerate ground state. In the strong-coupling regime, the ground state is twofold degenerate and possesses long-range magnetic ordering. Analytical results for a network with the ring topology are obtained.
