Numerical investigation of the Ising model in a light-induced quantized transverse field — •Anja Langheld and Kai Phillip Schmidt — Lehrstuhl für Theoretische Physik I, Staudtstraße 7, Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, D-91058 Erlangen, Germany

We investigate the Ising model in a light-induced quantized transverse field [1] with a particular focus on antiferromagnetic, potentially frustrated Ising interactions. Using exact diagonalization, we provide data for the antiferromagnetic chain in a longitudinal field that is inconsistent with earlier results coming from mean-field considerations [2]. In order to study the model on frustrated, two-dimensional lattice geometries, we extend the mean-field calculation and develop a quantum Monte Carlo update based on the recently introduced wormhole update [3], for which the photons are integrated out. By this means, the photons induce a retarded spin-spin interaction in imaginary time that is also non-local in space in contrast to the Ising interaction inherent to the model.
