Quantum phase transitions (QPT's)in a nutshell!
They occur ideally at zero temperature when some other parameter (pressure, doping, field, etc.) is varied
Driven solely by quantum fluctuations
Not academic: The signature of the QCP at T = 0 is experimentally relevant for the physics of a quantum critical region at T > 0 (Sachdev's scenario)

QPT's are still an open problem in quantum physics, at least from the experimental and numerical points of view
Theoretical rule of thumb: QPT's in d spatial dimensions are equivalent to classical phase transitions in (d+) spatial dimensions
To be used with care: granted for thermodynamics and universal features, but not necessarily for dynamics

The spatial dimensions are necessarily of finite extension and, for a lattice system with L sites, the overall dimension of the Hilbert space grows exponentially
Methods (low-energy levels and correlations)
Why: Limits in numerical simulations
dim H=qL
q=dim H site
Lanczos algorithm Virtually exact, max ~ 30 sites
DMRG [RMP 77, 259 (2005)] Very accurate in 1D,~ 1000 sites
QMC Only choice in 2D or 3D, sign problem with fermions

How: Finitesize scaling (FSS) issues
Useful also for real finite systems in experiments
The first problem is to locate the critical point, if it is not known a priori thanks to symmetry, duality, ...
Phenomenological renormalisation group (PRG): using the excited levels
Using the ground-state energy and its derivatives w.r.t. to the parameter g:➢ Maxima of “specific heat”, subsceptibility, ...➢ Finite-size crossing method
Binder ratios in QMC: using moments of observables (magnetisation, ...) Other model-specific tricks (e.g. level spectroscopy)

Finitesize crossing method
Campos Venuti, DEB, Roncaglia & ScaramucciPhys. Rev. A 73, 010103(R) (2006)
Near the critical point the expectation value of the term driving the transition, at successive values of L cross with slope ~ in a sequence of points
The shift exponents depend on the boundary conditions and it is generally believed that
Slow convrgence for cases with large values of (extreme case: Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition with exp. small gap “=∞”)
The convergence would be more rapid if we could eliminate the part coming from the Casimir-like term

A homogeneity criterion

2 /t−C ' g ]
z≪1
First an “L-derivative” (finite difference between L and L+L) eliminates the “∞, reg” term
At t = 0 the dominant part is a homogeneous function of L of degree –(d++1)
When we plug the expression above into this condition we find a larger shift exponent
The same behaviour is found if we look for the suitable *=C'(g)/C(g) such that has no Casimir term and use its crossing points

With the following ansatz (n ∈ ℤ)
the homogeneity condition
provides a sequence of points that converge to the BKT critical point with shift exponent
Note: In order to work properly the homogeneity approach requires that the finite differences in L are adjusted properly to cancel exactly the L––d term. For istance with =d=1 and uniform step L

✔ In summary, we have found a way to improve both the FSCM and the PRG with a larger shift exponent . In particular the homogeneity criterion is valid also for BKT transitions. The only thing to be known is the dynamic exponent.
✔ We hope to move to 2D systems with QMC soon
