We study the behavior of two archetypal quantum spin glasses at T = 0 by exact diagonalization techniques: the random Ising model in a transverse field and the random Heisenberg model. The behavior of the dynamical spin response is obtained in the spin-glass ordered phase. In both models it is gapless and has the general form χ′′(ω) = qδ(ω)+χreg′′(ω), with χreg′′(ω)ω for the Ising and χreg′′(ω)const for the Heisenberg, at low frequencies. The method provides new insight to the physical nature of the low-lying excitations.
