Tricritical directed percolation with long-range interaction in one and two dimensions

Recently, the quantum contact process, in which branching and coagulation processes occur both coherently and incoherently, was theoretically and experimentally investigated in driven open quantum spin systems. In the semi-classical approach, the quantum coherence effect was regarded as a process in which two consecutive atoms are involved in the excitation of a neighboring atom from the inactive (ground) state to the active state (excited $s$ state). In this case, both second-order and first-order transitions occur. Therefore, a tricritical point exists at which the transition belongs to the tricritical directed percolation (TDP) class. On the other hand, when an atom is excited to the $d$ state, long-range interaction is induced. Here, to account for this long-range interaction, we extend the TDP model to one with long-range interaction in the form of $\sim 1/r^{d+σ}$ (denoted as LTDP), where $r$ is the separation, $d$ is the spatial dimension, and $σ$ is a control parameter. In particular, we investigate the properties of the LTDP class below the upper critical dimension $d_c=$ min$(3,\,1.5σ)$. We numerically obtain a set of critical exponents in the LTDP class and determine the interval of $σ$ for the LTDP class. Finally, we construct a diagram of universality classes in the space ($d$, $σ$).
