Finite Size Scaling and Quantum Criticality

09 May 2007 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Sabre Kais

The study of quantum phase transitions, which are driven by quantum fluctuations as a consequence of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, continues to be of increasing interest in the fields of condensed matter and atomic and molecular physics. In this field we have established an …

Finite Size Scaling and Quantum Criticality

02 Jan 2008 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Sabre Kais

In statistical mechanics, the finite size scaling method provides a systematic way to extrapolate information about criticality obtained from a finite system to the thermodynamic limit. For quantum systems, the finite size corresponds not to the spatial dimension but to the number of elements in a …
