Abstract

We study second order finite temperature phase transitions of the 2D quantum Ising and interacting honeycomb fermions models using infinite projected entangled pair states (iPEPS). We obtain an iPEPS thermal state representation by Variational Tensor Network Renormalization (VTNR). We find that at the critical temperature TcT_c the iPEPS correlation length is finite for the computationally accessible values of the iPEPS bond dimension DD. Motivated by this observation we investigate the application of Finite Correlation Length Scaling (FCLS), which has been previously used for iPEPS simulations of quantum critical points at T=0T=0, to obtain precise values of TcT_c and the universal critical exponents. We find that in the vicinity of TcT_c the behavior of observables follows well the one predicted by FCLS. Using FCLS we obtain TcT_c and the critical exponents in agreement with Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) results except for couplings close to the quantum critical points where larger bond dimensions are required.
