Statistical mechanics provides a fundamental framework for understanding how collective phenomena in many-body systems give rise to macroscopic changes in state, known as phase transitions. Research ...
Quantum phase transitions describe abrupt changes in the ground state of a quantum system at absolute zero when a control parameter is varied. They are distinguished from classical phase transitions ...
