Synthetic dimension platforms offer unique pathways for engineering quantum matter. We compute the phase diagram of a many-body system of ultracold atoms (or polar molecules) with a set of Rydberg states (or rotational states) as a…

In the study of fluid phases, the Ruppeiner geometry provides novel ways for constructing the phase boundaries (known as the $R$-crossing method) and the Widom line, which is considered by many to be the continuation of the coexistence…
