In relativistic quantum field theory particles of half-integer spin must obey Fermi-Dirac statistics. Their quantum operators must anticommute at spacelike separation in contrast to commuting physical observables. We show that Fermi-Dirac…
We consider the spin-1/2 Ising chain in a regularly alternating transverse field to examine the effects of regular alternation on the quantum phase transition inherent in the quantum Ising chain. The number of quantum phase transition…
Quantum state, in relativistic quantum mechanics, itself turns out to be an entangled state due to its own degrees freedom such as spin and momentum. This peculiar entanglement leaves the transformed state mixed. We consider the fractional…
