• The image annni_sketch.png is a rough sketch for the thumbnail. It needs to be updated by replacing $J2$ with $\kappa$ and $J$ with $J_1$ to ensure consistency with the Hamiltonian described in Eq. (1).

• The other two images, annni_pd.png and annni_pd_analytical.png, were originally generated using matplotlib.pyplot. I imported them as images to reduce code volume. I will add the code to reproduce these images shortly.

This was a joy to read. I added a few comments/suggestions.

I am just curious about the minus sign in the front. The Hamiltonian from the paper has a positive sign.

[SaverioMonaco]

The signs in the ANNNI Hamiltonian have always been a source of confusion. The important thing is getting the relative sign between the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor interactions right, otherwise, there is no competition between them, which leads to no actual phase transition (I know this firsthand, it cost me a week of debugging at the time).

The original (1988) paper defines the hamiltonian as (Eq. 2.1):
$$H = - J_1\Big(\sum_i \sigma_x^i \sigma_x^{i+1} - \big( \underbrace{-\frac{J_2 }{J_1}}_{\kappa} \big) \sigma_x^i \sigma_x^{i+1} ... \Big) = - J_1\Big(\sum_i \sigma_x^i \sigma_x^{i+1} - \kappa \sigma_x^i \sigma_x^{i+1} ... \Big)$$
For $J_1 > 0$ and $J_2 \leq 0$ hence $\kappa \geq 0$

In our paper we defined it as (Eq. 1)
$$H = J_1 \sum_i \sigma_x^i\sigma_x^{i+1} - \kappa \sigma_x^{i}\sigma_x^{i+2} + h \sigma_z^i$$

I assume in our paper we forgot to add the minus sign before the nearest-neighbor term. Thank you for pointing that out!

I would personally leave as it is the equation in the notebook, as it is the same formulation of the original 1988 paper.

[daniela-angulo]

Since these two methods, VQE and MPS, weren't used in this demo, it would be best not to go into details about them here. We can mention them and add references if needed, but it's best to not emphasize them.
