In the present work, we investigate the phase transitions of the Ising model with interactions between first (J1), second (J2) and third (J3) neighbours in the square lattice with transverse magnetic field. In this study, we adopt antiferromagnetic interactions between first and second neighbours and consider third-neighbours interactions to be both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic. The description of the classical and quantum phase transitions of the model is carried out by adopting the cluster mean-field approximation with four sites. As a result, we identified that strong enough third-neighbor interactions lead to the disappearance of tricriticality at the boundary between the superantiferromagnetic (SAF) and paramagnetic (PM) phases. In particular, tricriticality is more sensitive to the presence of ferromagnetic interactions, disappearing for |J3| ă 0.3|J1| in the absence of transverse field. In the presence of antiferromagnetic J3, we find first-order transitions between the degenerate staggered dimer phase and the PM phase. Furthermore, we find a change in the nature of the SAF-PM phase transitions introduced by quantum fluctuations. This phenomenon, called quantum annealed criticality (QAC), consists of classical first-order phase transitions that become second-order phase transitions in the presence of a strong enough transverse field. Our results allow establishing a range of parameters J2 and J3 for which it is possible to find QAC. The analysis of the model criticality allows concluding that a strong enough J3 interaction eliminates the QAC phenomenon. Therefore, our results suggest that attempts to realize QAC in a square lattice system should avoid strong interactions between third neighbors, mainly if these interactions are ferromagnetic.
