| We investigate thermodynamic phase transitions in the compass model and in eg orbital model on an infinite square lattice by variational tensor network renormalization (VTNR) in imaginary time. The onset of nematic order in the quantum compass model is estimated at 𝓣c/J=0.0606(4). For the eg orbital model one finds: (i) a very accurate estimate of 𝓣c/J=0.3566± 0.0001 and (ii) the critical exponents in the Ising universality class. Remarkably large difference in frustration results in so distinct values of 𝓣c, while entanglement influences the quality of 𝓣c estimation. |
