Using the bosonic numerical renormalization group technique, we study the quantum critical properties of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model. This model describes a two-level system imbedded in a bosonic bath with power-law spectrum density J(ω) ∼ ωs. In the sub-Ohmic regime 0<s<1, there exists a line of quantum critical points separating localized and delocalized phases. The critical exponents are calculated and the hyperscaling relations are found to be fulfilled in the range 0<s<1. In small s limit, these results agree well with the perturbative RG calculation, but contradict the existing results for the corresponding long-range Ising model. We conclude that the naive quantum-classical mapping fails for the spin-boson model in the regime 0<s<1/2.
