We study the phases and phase transitions of a disordered one-dimensional quantum \(q\)-state clock Hamiltonian using large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. Making contact with earlier results, we confirm that the clean, translational invariant version of the model, for \(q=6\), hosts an intermediate...
