Abstract: The thermodynamics of the unitary (normalized spin) quantum and classical Ising models with skew magnetic field, for |J|β≲0.9, is derived for the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic cases. The high-temperature expansion (β-expansion) of the Helmholtz free energy is calculated up to order β7 for the quantum version (spin S≥1/2) and up to order β19 for the classical version. In contrast to the S=1/2 case, the thermodynamics of the transverse Ising and that of the XY model for S>1/2 are not equivalent. Moreover, the critical line of the T=0 classical antiferromagnetic Ising model with skew magnetic field is absent from this classical model, at least in the temperature range of |J|β≲0.9.
