We study the phase diagram of the proton--neutron interacting boson model (IBM--2) with special emphasis on the phase transitions leading to triaxial phases. The existence of a new critical point between spherical and triaxial shapes is…
Background: In the last few decades quantum phase transitions have been of great interest in Nuclear Physics. In this context, two-fluid algebraic models are ideal systems to study how the concept of quantum phase transition evolves when…
The phase diagram of a two-fluid bosonic system is investigated. The proton-neutron interacting boson model (IBM-2) possesses a rich phase structure involving three control parameters and multiple order parameters. The surfaces of quantum…
A scheme of solving the proton-neutron interacting boson model (IBM-2) in terms of the SU(3) basis is introduced, by which the IBM-2 coupled with an octupole boson is applied to describe the low-energy structure of the critical point…

The catastrophe theory is applied to a nuclear cluster model and an effective model for QCD at low energy. The study of quantum phase transitions in the cluster model was considered in an earlier publication, but restricted to spherical…
We study the properties of quantum cusp and butterfly catastrophes from an algebraic viewpoint. The analysis employs an interacting boson model Hamiltonian describing quantum phase transitions between specific quadrupole shapes by…
In the framework of the interacting boson model the three transitional regions (rotational-vibrational, rotational-$\gamma$-unstable and, vibrational-$\gamma$-unstable transitions) are reanalyzed. A new kind of plot is presented for…
We classify entanglement singularities for various two-mode bosonic systems in terms of catastrophe theory. Employing an abstract phase-space representation, we obtain exact results in limiting cases for the entropy in cusp, butterfly, and…
This review is focused on various properties of quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in the Interacting Boson Model (IBM) of nuclear structure. The model in its infinite-size limit exhibits shape-phase transitions between spherical, deformed…
We present a new theoretical approach for the study of the phase diagram of interacting quantum particles: bosons, fermions or spins. In the neighborhood of a phase transition, the expected renormalization group structure is recovered both…
We study the quantum phase transitions of a model that describes the interconversion of interacting bosonic atoms and molecules. Using a classical analysis, we identify a threshold coupling line separating a molecular phase and a mixed…
The problem of finding a microscopic theory of phase transitions across a critical point is a central unsolved problem in theoretical physics. We find a general solution to that problem and present it here for the cases of Bose-Einstein…
The catastrophe theory, an effective method for the description of phase transitions, is applied to the Semimicroscopic Algebraic Cluster Model (SACM) as an example of a non-trivial theory. The ground state and excited, rotational phase…
It is known that arrays of trapped ions can be used to efficiently simulate a variety of many-body quantum systems. Here, we show how it is possible to build a model representing a spin chain interacting with bosons which is exactly…
We present a microscopic theory of the second order phase transition in an interacting Bose gas that allows one to describe formation of an ordered condensate phase from a disordered phase across an entire critical region continuously. We…
We introduce a simple two-level boson model with the same energy surface as the Q-consistent Interacting Boson Model Hamiltonian. The model can be diagonalized for large number of bosons and the results used to check analytical finite-size…
We study the quantum phase transition mechanisms that arise in the Interacting Boson Model. We show that the second-order nature of the phase transition from U(5) to O(6) may be attributed to quantum integrability, whereas all the…
We consider properties of critical points in the interacting boson model, corresponding to flat-bottomed potentials as encountered in a second-order phase transition between spherical and deformed $\gamma$-unstable nuclei. We show that…
A systematic study of isotope chains in the rare--earth region is presented. For the chains (144-154)Nd, (146-160)Sm, (148-162)Gd, and (150-166)Dy, energy levels, E2 transition rates, and two--neutron separation energies are described by…
