Exact solution of two-dimensional (2D) Ising model with a transverse field: A low-dimensional quantum spin system

Abstract

The exact solution of ferromagnetic two-dimensional (2D) Ising model with a transverse field, which can be used to describe the critical phenomena in low-dimensional quantum spin systems, is derived by equivalence between the ferromagnetic 2D Ising model with a transverse field and the ferromagnetic three-dimensional (3D) Ising model. The results obtained in this work can be extended to be suitable for the antiferromagnetic 2D Ising model with a transverse field in the cases without frustration.
