The phase transition is both thermodynamically and quantum-mechanically ubiquitous in nature or laboratory and its understanding is still one of most active issues in modern physics and related disciplines. The Landau's theory provides a…
The Rabi model, a two-level atom coupled to a harmonic oscillator, can undergo a second-order quantum phase transition (QPT) [M. -J. Hwang et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 115, 180404 (2015)]. Here we show that the Rabi QPT accompanies critical…
