Paradigm for approaching the forbidden phase transition in the one-dimensional Ising model at fixed finite temperature: Single chain in a magnetic field
In a previous paper, the forbidden spontaneous phase transition in the one-dimensional Ising model was found to be approachable arbitrarily closely in decorated ladders by ultra-narrow phase crossover (UNPC) at a given finite temperature T 0 with the crossover width 2δT reduced exponentially, which resemble a genuine first-order transition with large latent heat. Here, I reveal that the forbidden phase transition can be approached at fixed T 0 as well in decorated single-chain Ising models in the presence of a magnetic field, in which T 0 is determined by the interactions involving only the decorated parts and the magnetic field, while 2δT is independently, exponentially reduced (δT = 0 means a genuine transition) by restoring the ferromagnetic interaction between the ordinary spins on the chain backbone-which was neglected in the previous studies of pseudo-transition-thus manifesting that this asymptoticity to the forbidden transition is essentially the buildup of coherence in preformed crossover of local states. Furthermore, I show that the UNPC can be realized even in the absence of the conventional geometric frustration because the magnetic field itself can induce previously unnoticed hidden spin frustration. In conclusion, these findings make the doors wide open to the engineering and utilization of UNPC as a new paradigm for exploring exotic phenomena and 1D device applications.

2D Ising Model for Adsorption–induced Enantiopurification of Racemates
Mechanisms for the spontaneous transformation of achiral chemical systems into states of enantiomeric purity have important ramifications in modern pharmacology and potential relevance to the origins of homochirality in life on Earth. Such mechanisms for enantiopurification are needed for production of chiral pharmaceuticals and other bioactive compounds. Previously proposed chemical mechanisms leading from achiral systems to near homochirality are initiated by a symmetry–breaking step resulting in a minor excess of one enantiomer via statistical fluctuations in enantiomer concentrations. Subsequent irreversible processes then amplify the majority enantiomer concentration while simultaneously suppressing minority enantiomer production. Herein, equilibrium adsorption of amino acid enantiomer mixtures onto chiral and achiral surfaces reveals amplification of surface enantiomeric excess relative to the gas phase; i. e. enantiopurification of chiral adsorbates by adsorption. Furthermore, this adsorption–induced amplification of enantiomeric excess is shown to be well–describe by the 2D Ising model. More importantly, the 2D–Ising model predicts formation of homochiral monolayers from adsorption of racemic mixtures or prochiral molecules on achiral surfaces; i.e. enantiopurification with no apparent chiral driving force.

Kinetic Phase Transition in the Semi-infinite Spin-1 Ising Model Under a Periodically Oscillating Magnetic Field
The kinetics of the semi-infinite Ising model in the presence of a time-dependent oscillating external field is studied within the framework of the mean-field approach. We use the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics to describe the evolution time of this system. We present a variety of phase in a semi-infinite cubic ferromagnet with spin-1 in two different, planes; phase diagrams contain (BF, S {sub 1}P, SP) phase, (BF, S {sub 1}F, SP) phase, completely ordered phase (BF, S {sub 1}F, SF) and completely disordered phase (BP, S {sub 1}P, SP), which strongly depend on interaction parameters. The nature first and second orders of the transitions is characterized by studying the thermal behaviors of the dynamic magnetizations. Furthermore, the system exhibits dynamical tricritical phenomenon and the reentrant behaviors. The magnetizations and phase space trajectories are given and discussed.

Short-Depth QAOA circuits and Quantum Annealing on Higher-Order Ising Models (Rev.2)
The Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz (QAOA) and Quantum Annealing (QA) are quantum algorithms that are both based on the adiabatic theorem and both have the goal of sampling the optimal solution(s) of combinatorial optimization problems. Quantum annealing has been physically instantiated on D-Wave devices using superconducting flux qubits, and QAOA can be programmed on digital gate-model quantum computers such as the programmable superconducting transmon qubits devices of the IBMQ series, for instance ibm washington. QAOA and QA address the same types of problems, but it is unclear how they will scale to large problem sizes and to larger and higher-fidelity quantum computers. In this article, we present a direct comparison between QAOA, one and two rounds, run on all 127 qubits of ibm washington and QA run on D-Wave Advantage system4.1 and Advantage system6.1. The problems which allow for this comparison are random Ising model problems whose connectivity matches the heavy hexagonal lattice topology of ibm washington and the Pegasus graph connectivity of the two D-Wave devices. We create two classes of problem instances for this comparison: one with higher order terms (ZZZ variable interactions), linear terms, and quadratic terms, and a separate problem type with only linear and quadratic terms. Our QAOA circuits are novel and extremely short depth, with a CNOT depth of 6 per round, which allows whole chip usage of ibm washington’s heavy hexagonal lattice and can be applied to future heavy-hex chips. We also test the effectiveness of the error suppression technique digital dynamical decoupling on the QAOA circuits. The QAOA circuits compiled to ibm washington are composed of several thousand circuit instructions, approximately 3, 000 depending on the details of the circuit, making these some the largest quantum circuits ever executed on a digital quantum processor. QAOA and QA are compared against the classical heuristic algorithm of simulated annealing and all problem instances are exactly solved using CPLEX in order to evaluate which samplers, if any, correctly found the ground state solution(s) of the problem instances. We find that (i) QA outperforms QAOA on all problem instances, (ii) QAOA samples the problems better than random sampling, and (iii) QAOA angle computation exhibits clear parameter concentration across the ensemble of Ising models.

Duality defect in a deformed transverse-field Ising model
Physical quantities with long lifetimes have both theoretical significance in the study of quantum many-body systems and practical implications for quantum technologies. In this manuscript, we investigate the roles played by topological defects in the construction of quasiconserved quantities, using as a prototypical example the Kramers-Wannier duality defect in a deformed one-dimensional quantum transverse-field Ising model. We construct the duality defect Hamiltonian in three different ways: half-chain Kramers-Wannier transformation, utilization of techniques in the Ising fusion category, and defect-modified weak integrability breaking deformation. The third method is also applicable for the study of generic integrable defects under weak integrability breaking deformations. We also work out the deformation of defect-modified higher charges in the model and study their slower decay behavior. Furthermore, we consider the corresponding duality defect twisted deformed Floquet transverse-field Ising model and investigate the stability of the isolated zero mode associated with the duality defect in the integrable Floquet Ising model, under such weak integrability breaking deformation.

Solving the 3d Ising Model with the Conformal Bootstrap II. c -Minimization and Precise Critical Exponents
Here, we use the conformal bootstrap to perform a precision study of the operator spectrum of the critical 3d Ising model. We conjecture that the 3d Ising spectrum minimizes the central charge \(c\) in the space of unitary solutions to crossing symmetry. Because extremal solutions to crossing symmetry are uniquely determined, we are even able to precisely reconstruct the first several \(\mathbb {Z}_2\) -even operator dimensions and their OPE coefficients. We observe that a sharp transition in the operator spectrum occurs at the 3d Ising dimension \(\Delta _\sigma = 0.518154(15)\) , and find strong numerical evidence that operators decouple from the spectrum as one approaches the 3d Ising point. We compare this behavior to the analogous situation in 2d, where the disappearance of operators can be understood in terms of degenerate Virasoro representations.

Application of the variational autoencoder to detect the critical points of the anisotropic Ising model
We generalize the previous study on the application of variational autoencoders to the two-dimensional Ising model to a system with anisotropy. Due to the self-duality property of the system, the critical points can be located exactly for the entire range of anisotropic coupling. This presents an excellent test bed for the validity of using a variational autoencoder to characterize an anisotropic classical model. Furthermore, we reproduce the phase diagram for a wide range of anisotropic couplings and temperatures via a variational autoencoder without the explicit construction of an order parameter. Considering that the partition function of ($d$ + 1)-dimensional anisotropic models can be mapped to that of the $d$-dimensional quantum spin models, the present study provides numerical evidence that a variational autoencoder can be applied to analyze quantum systems via the quantum Monte Carlo method.

Spin liquid and quantum phase transition without symmetry breaking in a frustrated three-dimensional Ising model
We show that the highly frustrated transverse-field Ising model on the three-dimensional pyrochlore lattice realizes a first-order phase transition without symmetry breaking between the low-field Coulomb quantum spin liquid and the high-field polarized phase. The quantum phase transition is located quantitatively by comparing low- and high-field series expansions. Furthermore, the intriguing properties of the elementary excitations in the polarized phase are investigated. We argue that this model can be achieved experimentally by applying mechanical strain to a classical spin-ice material composed of non-Kramers spins such as Ho 2 Ti 2 O 7 . Taken together with our results, this provides an experimental platform to study quantum spin liquid physics.

Non-gaussianity of the critical 3d Ising model
We discuss the 4pt function of the critical 3d Ising model, extracted from recent conformal bootstrap results. We focus on the non-gaussianity Q Q – the ratio of the 4pt function to its gaussian part given by three Wick contractions. This ratio reveals significant non-gaussianity of the critical fluctuations. The bootstrap results are consistent with a rigorous inequality due to Lebowitz and Aizenman, which limits Q Q to lie between 1/3 1 / 3 and 1 1 .

Critical Relaxation of a Three-Dimensional Fully Frustrated Ising Model
Critical relaxation from the low-temperature ordered state of the three-dimensional fully frustrated Ising model on a simple cubic lattice is studied by the short-time dynamics method. Cubic systems with periodic boundary conditions and linear sizes of L = 32, 64, 96, and 128 in each crystallographic direction are studied. Calculations were carried out by the Monte Carlo method using the standard Metropolis algorithm. The static critical exponents for the magnetization and correlation radius and the dynamic critical exponents are calculated.

Low-temperature domain-wall freezing and nonequilibrium dynamics in the transverse-field Ising model material CoNb 2 O 6
CoNb 2 O 6 is a rare realization of the transverse-field Ising model, making it a useful tool for studying both equilibrium and nonequilibrium many-body quantum physics. Despite a large body of work dedicated to characterizing this material, details of the ordered states in the presence of relatively weak transverse fields have not been discussed in detail. Here, we present a detailed study of CoNb 2 O 6 via ac susceptibility measurements in order to further characterize its low-temperature behavior in the presence of a transverse field. Specifically, we call attention to an unconventional freezing transition in zero field below T F = 1.2 K, occurring within the well-known commensurate antiferromagnetic (CAFM) state that onsets at T N2 = 1.9 K. We performed a series of transverse-field quenches into this frozen state, which resulted in a slowly relaxing susceptibility, χ' (t), that followed a logarithmic decay within the time range measured. Additionally, we discuss the frozen state in the context of the freezing of previously discussed “free” chains arising from domain walls between the four degenerate sublattices of the CAFM state. We also attempted to observe Kibble-Zurek scaling by quenching the transverse field into the frozen state at different rates. This produced a null result; the behavior can be fully explained by coarsening of domains over the time scale of the quenches. The absence of a clear Kibble-Zurek scaling is itself surprising, given the proposed ubiquity of the phenomenon for general second-order phase transitions.

Phase transitions in the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a body-centered cubic lattice with interactions between next-to-nearest neighbors
Phase transitions in the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a body-centered cubic lattice are studied on the basis of the replica algorithm by the Monte Carlo method and histogram analysis taking into account the interaction of next-to-nearest neighbors. The phase diagram of the dependence of the critical temperature on the intensity of interaction of the next-to-nearest neighbors is constructed. It is found that a second-order phase transition is realized in this model in the investigated interval of the intensities of interaction of next-to-nearest neighbors.

Ising model of cardiac thin filament activation with nearest-neighbor cooperative interactions
We have developed a model of cardiac thin filament activation using an Ising model approach from equilibrium statistical physics. This model explicitly represents nearest-neighbor interactions between 26 troponin/tropomyosin units along a one-dimensional array that represents the cardiac thin filament. With transition rates chosen to match experimental data, the results show that the resulting force-pCa (F-pCa) relations are similar to Hill functions with asymmetries, as seen in experimental data. Specifically, Hill plots showing (log(F/(1-F)) vs. log [Ca]) reveal a steeper slope below the half activation point (Ca(50)) compared with above. Parameter variation studies show interplay of parameters that affect the apparent cooperativity and asymmetry in the F-pCa relations. The model also predicts that Ca binding is uncooperative for low [Ca], becomes steeper near Ca(50), and becomes uncooperative again at higher [Ca]. The steepness near Ca(50) mirrors the steep F-pCa as a result of thermodynamic considerations. The model also predicts that the correlation between troponin/tropomyosin units along the one-dimensional array quickly decays at high and low [Ca], but near Ca(50), high correlation occurs across the whole array. This work provides a simple model that can account for the steepness and shape of F-pCa relations that other models fail to reproduce.

Evaluating the Limits of QAOA Parameter Transfer at High-Rounds on Sparse Ising Models With Geometrically Local Cubic Terms
The emergent practical applicability of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) for approximate combinatorial optimization is a subject of considerable interest. One of the primary limitations of QAOA is the task of finding a set of good parameters, which is usually done using a variational optimization loop. Parameter transfer, or parameter concentration, is a phenomenon where QAOA angles trained on problem instances that are self-similar tend to perform well for other problem instances from that similar class. This suggests a potentially highly efficient and scalable non-variational learning method for QAOA angle finding. In this work, we systematically study QAOA parameter transferability from small problem sizes (16 and 27 decision variables) onto large problem instances (up to 156 qubits) for heavy-hex graph Ising models with geometrically local higher order terms using the Julia based QAOA simulation tool \texttt{JuliQAOA} to perform classical angle finding for up to $49$ QAOA layers ($p$). Parameter transfer of the fixed angles is validated using a combination of full statevector, Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS), Matrix Product State (MPS), and LOWESA numerical simulations. We find that the QAOA parameter transfer from single instances applied to other (unseen) problem instances does not in general provide monotonically improving performance as a function of $p$ - there are many cases where the performance temporarily decreases as a function of $p$ - but despite this the transferred angles have a general trend of improved expectation value as the QAOA depth increases, in many cases converging close to the true ground-state energy of the $100+$ qubit instances. We also sample the hardware-compatible Ising models using the ensemble of transfer-learned QAOA parameters on several superconducting qubit IBM Quantum processors with 127, 133, and 156 qubits. We find continuous solution quality improvement of the hardware-compatible QAOA circuits run on the IBM NISQ processors up to $p=5$ on \texttt{ibm\_fez}, up to $p=9$ on \texttt{ibm\_torino}, and up to $p=10$ on \texttt{ibm\_pittsburgh}.

This paper presents an alternative proof of the connection between the partition function of the Ising model on a finite graph G and the set of non-backtracking walks on G. The techniques used also give formulas for spin-spin correlation functions in terms of non-backtracking walks. The main tools used are Viennot's theory of heaps of pieces and turning numbers on surfaces.

Critical Properties in the Ising Model on a Triangular Lattice with the Variable Interlayer Exchange Interaction
Phase transitions and critical and thermodynamic properties of the three-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model on a layered triangular lattice with variable interlayer exchange interaction are studied by the replica algorithm of the Monte Carlo method. The studies are carried out for the ratios of the intralayer J{sub 1} and interlayer J{sub 2} exchange interactions in the range of r = J{sub 2}/J{sub 1} = 0.01–1.0. It is established that a second-order phase transition is observed in the considered r interval. Using the finite size scaling theory, the static critical exponents of the heat capacity α, susceptibility γ, order parameter β, correlation radius ν, and Fisher index η are calculated. It is shown that the universality class of the critical behavior of this model is preserved in the interval of 0.05 < r ≤ 1.0. It was found that with a further decrease in the r value, a crossover from the three-dimensional critical behavior to the quasi-two-dimensional one is observed.
