Interplay of Disorder and Transverse-Field Induced Quantum Fluctuations in the LiHo_xY_{1-x}F_4 Ising Magnetic Material

The LiHo_xY_{1-x}F_4 magnetic material in a transverse magnetic field B_x perpendicular to the Ising spin direction has long been used to study tunable quantum phase transitions in pure and random disordered systems. We first present analytical and numerical evidences for the validity of an effectiv...
