Pronounced structural changes within individual configurations (Type I QPT), superimposed on an abrupt crossing of these configurations (Type II QPT), define the notion of intertwined quantum phase transitions (QPTs). We discuss and present…
Quantum Phase Transition (QPT) is a phase transition between different quantum states by adjusting some control parameters. Based on the Principle of Hamilton Dynamics (PHD) and the Principle of Lagrangian Dynamics (PLD), a general QPT…
Phase transitions are commonly held to occur only in the thermodynamical limit of large number of system components. Here we exemplify at the hand of the exactly solvable Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model and its generalization to finite…
A quantum phase transition (QPT) between distinct ground states of matter is a wide-spread phenomenon in nature, yet there are only a few experimentally accessible systems where the microscopic mechanism of the transition can be tested and…
Non-equilibrium phase transitions exist in damped-driven open quantum systems, when the continuous tuning of an external parameter leads to a transition between two robust steady states. In second-order transitions this change is abrupt at…

Pd in U(Pt_{1-x}Pd_x)_3 suppresses the superconducting T_c to 0 K at critical concentration x_c of 0.007 and induces a conventional AFM state for x > x_c. The resistivity below 1 K shows a deviation from Fermi liquid behavior described by a…
