Concepts of the complex partition functions and the Fisher zeros provide intrinsic statistical mechanisms for finite temperature and real time dynamical phase transitions. We extend the utility of these complexifications to quantum phase…
We consider Ising models defined on periodic approximants of aperiodic graphs. The model contains only a single coupling constant and no magnetic field, so the aperiodicity is entirely given by the different local environments of neighbours…
