We study the ground state of a $d$--dimensional Ising model with both long range (dipole--like) and nearest neighbor ferromagnetic (FM) interactions. The long range interaction is equal to $r^{-p}$, $p>d$, while the FM interaction has…
We examine a chain of periodic arrays of 4 quantum spins with magnitudes of 1/2, 1, 3/2 and 1. There are four kinds of nearest-neighbour exchange parameters among them. We choose two independent parameters for concreteness: one represents…

We consider the non-stationary quantum relaxation of the Ising spin chain in a transverse field of strength h. Starting from a homogeneously magnetized initial state the system approaches a stationary state by a process possessing quasi…
The topological degeneracy of ground states in transverse field Ising chain cannot be removed by local perturbation and allows it to be a promising candidate for topological computation. We study the dynamic processes of crystallization and…
We consider the ground-state properties of the s=1/2 Ising chain in a transverse field which varies regularly along the chain having a period of alternation 2. Such a model, similarly to its uniform counterpart, exhibits quantum phase…
