We study the one-dimensional transverse-field spin-1/2 Ising ferromagnet at its critical point. We consider an $L$-sized subsystem of a $N$-sized ring, and trace over the states of $(N-L)$ spins, with $N\to\infty$. The full $N$-system is in…

We explore a transverse-field Ising model that exhibits both spontaneous symmetry-breaking and eigenstate thermalization. Within its ferromagnetic phase, the exact eigenstates of the Hamiltonian of any large but finite-sized system are all…
The Schelling model of segregation looks to explain the way in which a population of agents or particles of two types may come to organise itself into large homogeneous clusters, and can be seen as a variant of the Ising model in which the…
The clusters of up spins of a two-dimensional Ising ferromagnet undergo a second order percolative transition at temperatures above the Curie point. We show that in the scaling limit the percolation threshold is described by an integrable…
