Motivated by the recent experiments with Rydberg atoms in an optical tweezer array, we accurately map out the ground-state phase diagram of the antiferromagnetic Ising model on a square lattice with longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields using the quantum Monte Carlo method. For a small but nonzero transverse field, the transition longitudinal field is found to stay nearly constant. By scrutinizing the phase diagram, we have uncovered a narrow region where the system exhibits reentrant transitions between the disordered and antiferromagnetic phases when the transverse field increases. Our phase diagram provides a useful benchmark for quantum simulation with the Rydberg-atom system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
