Abstract

We have investigated the spin-1/2 random Heisenberg model with infinite range interactions by a numerical method. Extrapolation of finite size ( N ≦16) properties to the infinite system has yielded the following results. The average ground state energy is lower than that of the SK model (Ising spin) by about 25%. In the ground state, a critical point between the spin glass and ferromagnetic (mixed) phases exists just around the critical point (\(\tilde{J}_{0}/\tilde{J}{=}1\)) of the corresponding classical random Heisenberg model. Quantum fluctuations are concluded not to change the ground state properties qualitatively.
