Abstract

Recently, the quantum contact process, in which branching and coagulation processes occur both coherently and incoherently, was theoretically and experimentally investigated in driven open quantum spin systems. In the semi-classical approach, the quantum coherence effect was regarded as a process in which two consecutive atoms are involved in the excitation of a neighboring atom from the inactive (ground) state to the active state (excited ss state). In this case, both second-order and first-order transitions occur. Therefore, a tricritical point exists at which the transition belongs to the tricritical directed percolation (TDP) class. On the other hand, when an atom is excited to the dd state, long-range interaction is induced. Here, to account for this long-range interaction, we extend the TDP model to one with long-range interaction in the form of 1/rd+σ\sim 1/r^{d+\sigma} (denoted as LTDP), where rr is the separation, dd is the spatial dimension, and σ\sigma is a control parameter. In particular, we investigate the properties of the LTDP class below the upper critical dimension dc=d_c= min(3,1.5σ)(3,\,1.5\sigma). We numerically obtain a set of critical exponents in the LTDP class and determine the interval of σ\sigma for the LTDP class. Finally, we construct a diagram of universality classes in the space (dd, σ\sigma).
