Two information entropies, $S_{IB}$ based on the local bonding energy configurations and $S_{IS}$ based on the local spin configurations, are applied in the square-lattice $\pm {J}$ Ising systems with Monte Carlo simulations. With $S_{IB}$…
The two-dimensional Ising model is studied at the boundary of a half-infinite cylinder. The three regular lattices (square, triangular and hexagonal) and the three regimes (sub-, super- and critical) are discussed. The probability of having…
Although the notion of entropy lies at the core of statistical mechanics, it is not often used in statistical mechanical models to characterize phase transitions, a role more usually played by quantities such as various order parameters,…

We study solvable spin chains where either fields or couplings vary linearly in space and create a sandwich-like structure of the ground state. We find that the entanglement entropy between two halves of a chain varies logarithmically with…
We consider high dimensional Wishart matrices $\mathbb{X} \mathbb{X}^{\top}$ where the entries of $\mathbb{X} \in {\mathbb{R}^{n \times d}}$ are i.i.d. from a log-concave distribution. We prove an information theoretic phase transition:…
Whether long-range interactions allow for a form of causality in non-relativistic quantum models remains an open question with far-reaching implications for the propagation of information and thermalization processes. Here, we study the…

Phase transitions are a central theme of statistical mechanics, and of probability more generally. Lattice spin models represent a general paradigm for phase transitions in finite dimensions, describing ferromagnets and even some fluids…
We consider a chain of spin-half particles of a finite length, evolved with the mixed-field Ising Hamiltonian and impose open boundary condition. We simulate the time evolution of entanglement entropy and mutual information following quench…
Using exact enumeration, the Casimir amplitude and the Casimir force are calculated for the square lattice Ising model with quenched surface disorder on one surface in cylinder geometry at criticality. The system shape is characterized by…
We analyze changes in the thermodynamic properties of a spin system when it passes from the classical two-dimensional Ising model to the spin glass model, where spin-spin interactions are random in their values and signs. Formally, the…
A new graphical method is developed to calculate the critical temperature of 2- and 3-dimensional Ising models as well as that of the 2-dimensional Potts models. This method is based on the transfer matrix method and using the limited…
Phase transitions abound in nature and society, and, from species extinction to stock market collapse, their prediction is of widespread importance. In earlier work we showed that Global Transfer Entropy, a general measure of information…
The Ising chains in a transverse magnetic field of constant strength (h=1) and with the spin interaction value \lambda are considered. In the case of infinitely long chain, exact analytical expressions are found for the second central…
Transfer-matrix methods, with the help of finite-size scaling and conformal invariance concepts, are used to investigate the critical behavior of two-dimensional square-lattice Ising spin-1/2 systems with first- and second-neighbor…
We take the paradigm of interacting spin chains, the Heisenberg spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ XXZ model, as a reference system and consider interacting models that are related to it by Jordan-Wigner transformations and restrictions to sub-chains. An…
This thesis uses a quantity that is defined and justified by information theory -- mutual information -- to examine models of condensed matter systems. More precisely, it studies models which are made up out of ferromagnetically interacting…
We show that the two dimensional Ising model is complete, in the sense that the partition function of any lattice model on any graph is equal to the partition function of the 2D Ising model with complex coupling. The latter model has all…
We consider the two-dimensional (2d) Ising model on a infinitely long cylinder and study the probabilities $p_i$ to observe a given spin configuration $i$ along a circular section of the cylinder. These probabilities also occur as…
