Abstract

We study the quantum critical behavior of the XY spin chain with multisite interaction by means of a fidelity susceptibility (FS) calculation. The key ingredients (e.g., finite-size scaling behavior, universality principle) of the quantum criticality near the critical point are investigated carefully. The results show that the FS calculation is reliable to characterize the quantum critical behavior and that the multisite interaction can induce the redistribution of the criticality region.
