Abstract
A novel mechanism for explaining the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe is considered. We assume that the universe starts from completely symmetric state and then, as it cools down, it undergoes a quantum-phase transition which in turn causes an asymmetry between matter and anti-matter. The mechanism does not require the baryon number violating interactions or CP violation at a microscopic level. Our analysis of the matter-antimatter asymmetry is in the context of conspicuous experimental results obtained in the condensed-matter physics.
