We explore the temperature effects in the superconducting phases of a hybridized two-band system. We show that for zero hybridization between the bands, there are two different critical temperatures. However, for any finite hybridization…

A quantum system can undergo a continuous phase transition at the absolute zero of temperature as some parameter entering its Hamiltonian is varied. These transitions are particularly interesting for, in contrast to their classical finite…
