1. Excited-State Quantum Phase Transitions
![Page 4: E XCITED-STATE QUANTUM PHASE TRANSITIONS IN SYSTEMS WITH FEW DEGREES OF FREEDOM Pavel Stránský Seminar at the Mathematical Modelling Lab, Northumbria University,](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649eef5503460f94bff52a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is a phase transition?A nonanalytic change of a system’s properties (order parameter, eg. density, magnetization)as a result of some external conditions (control parameter, eg. pressure, temperature)
• First-order - latent heat (eg. melting ice), order parameter discontinuous• Second-order (continuous) - divergent susceptibility, infinite
correlation length (eg. ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transition)• Higher-order• Infinite-order (Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in 2D XY models)

What is a quantum phase transition?A nonanalytic change (in the infinite-size limit) of ground-state properties of a system by varying an external parameter at absolute zero temperature

And what is an ESQPT?
Ei
nonanalyticity in the dependence of excitation energy
Ei (and the respective
wavefunction) on the control
parameter
nonanalyticity in level density as a function of
energy
nonanalyticity in level flow as a function the control
parameter
A natural extension of the ground state QPT to excited part of the spectra
ESQPT is related to the topological and structural changes of the phase space with varying the control parameter or energy.
The dimensionality of the system is crucial.

Finite models
- size of the system
- number of degrees of freedom
Nonanalyticities in phase transitions occur only when the system’s size grows to infinity.
Finite model:
while f is maintained finite
Example: Interacting Boson Model of atomic nuclei
Generally, the number of degrees of freedom f grows with . However, f is maintained in collective models described by some dynamical algebra A of rank r, for which
• f is related with the rank r (in s & x boson models f = r - 1)• is usually related with the considered irreducible representation of the
algebra
- b bosons (of the type s or d) – quasiparticles, generating a U(6) algebra (f = 5)- 3 degrees of freedom are always separated (conserving angular momentum)- (dimension of the irreducible representation of the U(6) algebra)
In quantized classical systems,
- this limit coincides with the classical limit

Flow rate of the spectrum
- playing the role of velocity, it satisfies the
The flow rate can be determined by
•integrating the continuity equation:
•using the Hellmann-Feynman formula from the wave functions:
(connects the level density – with its singularities – and the flow rate)
Continuity equation
Nonanalyticities on the critical borderline1• f = 1: jump of level density opposite jump of the flow rate
divergence of the level density gives generally indeterminate result• f = 2: break of level density opposite break of the flow rateinfinite derivative of the level density

Conclusions• ESQPT originate in classical stationary points of the potential
(local minima, maxima and saddle points)
• ESQPT are presented as - singularities in the smooth part of the level density- anomalies of the thermodynamical properties- nonanalytic spectral flow properties with changing control parameter
• ESQPT as presented are applicable to systems with finite number of degrees of freedom – models of collective dynamics of many-body systems, eg.:- f = 1 Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model- f = 2 Dicke model, Interacting boson model (with the rotations separated)
• The nonanalytic features of ESQPT fade quickly with increasing f
• The effect of more complicated kinetic terms
• Finite-size effects, multiple critical triangles
• Relation of the ESQPT with the chaotic dynamics
Outlook
Singularities in the level density, thermal distribution function and flow rate are of the same type.

Many calculations indicate that the onset of chaos is related with the ESQPT (namely with the saddle point, serving as a shield against chaos)…
