Employ large-scale quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations, I discover the interesting role dimension plays in the quantum magnetic systems, including i) the amplitude mode via the dimension crossovers [1], ii) the subdimesional excitations and their spectrum in fracton orders [2], and iii) the characters of the non-trivial topological phase protected by the subsystem system symmetry [3]. First, to capture a clear amplitude mode signal, we simulate coupled spin chain model and successfully reveal the amplitude mode and identify both the transverse and longitude excitations as the breather of the sine-Gordon theory. Secondly, to see the spectrum of various subdimesional excitations in the fraction order, we simulate the X-Cube model and find the the spectral functions show clear anisotropy exactly caused by the underlying mobility constraints. Finally, we turn to the subsystem symmetry in the 2D-Cluster model and diagnose the non-trivial SSPT phase via the strange correlator, which offers a new tool to detect non-trivial SPT phases.
