Complex magnetic orders in frustrated magnets may exhibit rich melting processes when the magnet is heated toward the paramagnetic phase. We show that one may tune such melting processes by quantum fluctuations. We consider a kagome lattice dipolar Ising model subject to transverse field and focus on the thermal transitions out of its magnetic ground state, which features root 3 x root 3 magnetic unit cell. Our quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations suggest that, at weak transverse field, the root 3 x root 3 phase melts by way of an intermediate magnetic charge ordered phase where the lattice translation symmetry is restored while the time reversal symmetry remains broken. By contrast, at stronger transverse field, QMC simulations suggest the root 3 x root 3 order melts through a floating Kosterlitz-Thouless phase. The two distinct melting processes are separated by either a multicritical point or a short line of first order phase transition.
