The analytical and numerical (Monte Carlo and exact diagonalisation) estimates of phase diagrams of frustrated Ising models in transverse fields are discussed here. Specifically we discuss the Sherrington–Kirkpatrick model in transverse field and the Axial Next-Nearest Neighbour Ising (ANNNI) model in transverse field. The effects of quantum fluctuations (induced by the transverse field) on the ground and excited states of such systems with competing interactions (frustration) are also discussed. The results are compared to those available for other frustrated quantum systems.

Understanding the footprints of chaos in quantum-many-body systems has been under debate for a long time. In this work, we study the echo dynamics of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model with transverse field under effective time reversal. We investigate numerically its quantum and semiclassical dynamics. We explore how chaotic many-body quantum physics can lead to exponential divergence of the echo of observables and we show that it is a result of three requirements: i) the collective nature of the observable, ii) a properly chosen initial state and iii) the existence of a well-defined chaotic semi-classical (large-N) limit. Under these conditions, the echo grows exponentially up to the Ehrenfest time, which scales logarithmically with the number of spins N. In this regime, the echo is well described by the semiclassical (truncated Wigner) approximation. We also discuss a short-range version of the SK model, where the Ehrenfest time does not depend on N and the quantum echo shows only polynomial growth. Our findings provide new insights on scrambling and echo dynamics and how to observe it experimentally.
