| Abstract: | The nature of the intermediate ground‐state phase in the spin‐1/2 frustrated square lattice model has long been debated. We investigate the phase diagram of this model using cluster density matrix embedding theory (CDMET). Two antiferromagnetic phases are directly identified from our analysis of the ground‐state wave function: the Néel antiferromagnetic phase for J2 ≤ 0.45 and the stripe antiferromagnetic phase for J2 ≥ 0.65. Although our analysis of the ground state finds no direct evidence of an internal phase transition within the intermediate phase, an examination of the first excited state reveals a continuous quantum phase transition therein, with a critical point at J2 = 0.55 that separates the intermediate phase into a plaquette valence bond solid (PVBS) and a (P + C) valence bond solid (VBS).
