Quantum phase transitions, driven by quantum fluctuations,
exhibit intriguing features offering the possibility of potentially
new applications, e.g. in quantum information sciences. Major
advances have been made in both theoretical and experimental
investigations of the nature and behavior of quantum phases and
transitions in cooperatively interacting many-body quantum
systems.
For modeling purposes, most of the current innovative and
successful research in this field has been obtained by either
directly or indirectly using the insights provided by quantum (or
transverse field) Ising models because of the separability of the
cooperative interaction from the tunable transverse field or
tunneling term in the relevant Hamiltonian. Also, a number of
condensed matter systems can be modeled accurately in this
approach, hence granting the possibility to compare advanced models
with actual experimental results.
This work introduces these quantum Ising models and analyses
them both theoretically and numerically in great detail. With its
tutorial approach the book addresses above all young researchers
who wish to enter the field and are in search of a suitable and
self-contained text, yet it will also serve as a valuable reference
work for all active researchers in this area.
