Quantum phase transitions between the magnetically ordered and disordered states are studied for the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic quantum spin systems with ladder, plaquette, and mixed-spin structures. Starting with properly chosen…
We make a connection between quantum phase transitions in condensed matter systems, and supersymmetric gauge theories that are of interest in the particle physics literature. In particular, we point out interesting effects of the…
A simple, empirical signature of a first order phase transition in atomic nuclei is presented, the ratio of the energy of the 6+ level of the ground state band to the energy of the first excited 0+ state. This ratio provides an effective…
We study the relation between entanglement and quantum phase transition (QPT) from a new perspective. Motivated by one's intuition: QPT is characterized by the change of the ground-state structure, while entangled states belong to different…
A pair of transverse wobbling bands has been observed in the nucleus $^{135}$Pr. The wobbling is characterized by $\Delta I$ =1, E2 transitions between the bands, and a decrease in the wobbling energy confirms its transverse nature.…

The bilayer Heisenberg antiferromagnet is known to exhibit a quantum-critical transition at a particular value of the inter-layer coupling. Using a new type of coherent state, appropriate to the special order parameter structure of the…

We consider the one-dimensional extended Hubbard model in the presence of an explicit dimerization $\delta$. For a sufficiently strong nearest neighbour repulsion we establish the existence of a quantum phase transition between a mixed…
A first order phase transition usually proceeds by nucleating bubbles of the new phase which then rapidly expand. In confining gauge theories with a gravity dual, the deconfined phase is often described by a black hole. If one starts in…
