Observing quantum phase transitions in mesoscopic systems is a daunting task, thwarted by the difficulty of experimentally varying the magnetic interactions, the typical driving force behind these phase transitions. Here we demonstrate that…
In low-temperature metallic magnets, ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) orders can exist in a single system in different parts of the phase diagram as a function of some control parameter. These phases can be adjacent, or exist…
The spherical spin model with infinite-range ferromagnetic interactions is investigated analytically in the framework of non-extensive thermostatics generalizing the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics. We show that for repulsive…
We present a simple argument confirming the spontaneous quantum condensation of an electromagnetic field in matter in the case of a multi-level atomic system coupled to a single-mode electromagnetic field in the dipole approximation. The…
Any effort to localise an event in the vicinity of the Planck length scale, only where the quantum gravitational effects are predicted to be observed, will invariably result in gravitational collapse. One must postulate noncommutative (NC)…
Theoretical studies of quantum phase transitions have suggested critical points with higher symmetries than those of the underlying Hamiltonian. Here we demonstrate a surprising emergent symmetry of the coexistence state at a strongly…
Phase transitions have recently been formulated in the time domain of quantum many-body systems, a phenomenon dubbed dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs), whose phenomenology is often divided in two types. One refers to distinct…
The emergence of exotic quantum phenomena in frustrated magnets is rapidly driving the development of quantum many-body physics, raising fundamental questions on the nature of quantum phase transitions. Here we unveil the behaviour of…
The coupled cluster method (CCM) is a well-known method of quantum many-body theory, and here we present an application of the CCM to the spin-half J_1--J_2 quantum spin model with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbour interactions on the…
We study in detail the dynamics of unstable two-level quantum systems by adopting the Bloch-sphere formalism of qubits. By employing the Bloch-vector representation for such unstable qubit systems, we identify a novel class of critical…
We consider the most general scale invariant radial Hamiltonian allowing for anisotropic scaling between space and time. We formulate a renormalisation group analysis of this system and demonstrate the existence of a quantum phase…
It has been demonstrated that the critical point of the phase transition in scalar quantum field theory with a quartic interaction in one space dimension can be approximated via a Gaussian Effective Potential (GEP). We discuss how this…
The observation that concepts from quantum information has generated many alternative indicators of quantum phase transitions hints that quantum phase transitions possess operational significance with respect to the processing of quantum…
The realization of a genuine phase transition in quantum mechanics requires that at least one of the Kato's exceptional-point parameters becomes real. A new family of finite-dimensional and time-parametrized quantum-lattice models with such…
The (3+1)-dimensional $\kappa$-(A)dS noncommutative spacetime is explicitly constructed by quantizing its semiclassical counterpart, which is the $\kappa$-(A)dS Poisson homogeneous space. This turns out to be the only possible…
We introduce a Floquet quasicrystal that simulates the motion of Bloch electrons in a homogeneous magnetic field in discrete time steps. We admit the hopping to be non-reciprocal which, via a generalized Aubry duality, leads us to push the…
The theory of second order phase transitions is one of the foundations of modern statistical mechanics and condensed matter theory. A central concept is the observable `order parameter', whose non-zero average value characterizes one or…
