摘要翻译：
我们给出了一阶量子相变无序四舍五入为连续相变的启发式论证。通过对一维n色量子Ashkin-Teller模型的弱无序和强无序分析，我们发现对于$n\geq3$,一阶跃迁被舍入为连续跃迁，在有限参数区，物理图象与随机横场Ising模型相同。结果明显不同于二维经典问题，其中重整化群流的归宿是对应于n-解耦纯伊辛模型的不动点。

英文摘要：
  We give a heuristic argument for disorder rounding of a first order quantum phase transition into a continuous phase transition. From both weak and strong disorder analysis of the the N-color quantum Ashkin-Teller model in one spatial dimension, we find that for $N \geq 3$, the first order transition is rounded to a continuous transition and the physical picture is the same as the random transverse field Ising model for a limited parameter regime. The results are strikingly different from the corresponding classical problem in two dimensions where the fate of the renormalization group flows is a fixed point corresponding to N-decoupled pure Ising models.
