We study the equilibrium properties of the spin-$1/2$ XY chain with an infinite-range transverse interaction. At zero temperature, competition between the XY- and the $z$-ordered phases induced by the infinite-range interactions gives rise…
We consider random q-state Potts models for $3\le q \le 8$ on the square lattice where the ferromagnetic couplings take two values $J_1>J_2$ with equal probabilities. For any q the model exhibits a continuous phase transition both in the…
It is known rigorously that the phase transition of the $q$-state ferromagnetic Potts model on the square lattice is second order for $q=4$. Despite this fact, some observables of the $q=4$ model show features of a first-order phase…
The thermodynamics of the $q$-state Potts model with arbitrary $q$ on a class of hierarchical lattices is considered. Contrary to the case of the crystal lattices, it has always the second-order phase transitions. The analytical expressions…

The critical behaviour of the one-dimensional q-state Potts model with long-range interactions decaying with distance r as $r^{-(1+\sigma)}$ has been studied in the wide range of parameters $0 < \sigma \le 1$ and $\frac{1}{16} \le q \le…
We generalize the symmetric multi-qubit states to their q-analogs, whose basis vectors are identified with the q-Dicke states. We study the entanglement entropy in these states and find that entanglement is extruded towards certain regions…

In this paper, we describe some interesting properties of a non-Hermitian Jaynes-Cummings model. For this particular model, it is known that the Hilbert space can be described by infinitely-many two-dimensional invariant (closed) subspaces,…
We study a quantum phase transition between a phase which is topologically ordered and one which is not. We focus on a spin model, an extension of the toric code, for which we obtain the exact ground state for all values of the coupling…
The standard phase-ordering process is obtained by quenching a system, like the Ising model, to below the critical point. This is usually done with periodic boundary conditions to insure ergodicity breaking in the low temperature phase.…
