The quantum phase transition (QPT) of the one-dimensional (1D) quantum compass model in a transverse magnetic field is studied in this paper. An exact solution is obtained by using an extended Jordan and Wigner transformation to the pseudo-spin operators. The fidelity susceptibility, the concurrence, the block-block entanglement entropy, and the pseudo-spin correlation functions are calculated with antiperiodic boundary conditions. The QPT driven by the transverse field only emerges at zero field and is of the second-order. Several critical exponents obtained by finite size scaling analysis are the same as those in the 1D transverse field Ising model, suggesting the same universality class. A logarithmic divergence of the entanglement entropy of a block at the quantum critical point is also observed. From the calculated coefficient connected to the central charge of the conformal field theory, it is suggested that the block entanglement depends crucially on the detailed topological structure of a system.
