Wigner Function Analysis of Finite Matter-Radiation Systems

Quantum Physics 2023-02-21 v1

Abstract

We show that the behaviour in phase space of the Wigner function associated to the electromagnetic modes carries the information of both, the entanglement properties between matter and field, and the regions in parameter space where quantum phase transitions take place. A finer classification for the continuous phase transitions is obtained through the computation of the surface of minimum fidelity.
