Continuous Quantum Phase Transitions
A quantum system can undergo a continuous phase transition at the absolute zero of temperature as some parameter entering its Hamiltonian is varied. These transitions are particularly interesting for, in contrast to their classical finite temperature counterparts, their dynamic and static critical behaviors are intimately intertwined. We show that considerable insight is gained by considering t...
متن کاملThe Renormalization Group , Entropy , Thermodynamic Phase Transitions and Order in Quantum Field Theory
We define an entropy for a quantum field theory by combining quantum fluctuations, scaling and the maximum entropy concept. This entropy has different behavior in asymptotically free and non–asymptotically free theories. We find that the transition between the two regimes (from the asymptotically free to the non–asymptotically free) takes place via a continuous phase transition. For asymptotica...
متن کاملUniversal Entropy Bound for Rotating Systems
We conjecture a universal upper bound to the entropy of a rotating system. The entropy bound follows from application of the generalized second law of thermodynamics to an idealized gedanken experiment in which an entropybearing rotating system falls into a black hole. This bound is stronger than the Bekenstein entropy bound for non-rotating systems. One of the most intriguing features of both ...
متن کاملThermodynamic Analogy for Structural Phase Transitions
We investigate the relationship between ground-state (zero-temperature) quantum phase transitions in systems with variable Hamiltonian parameters and classical (temperature-driven) phase transitions in standard thermodynamics. An analogy is found between (i) phase-transitional distributions of the ground-state related branch points of quantum Hamiltonians in the complex parameter plane and (ii)...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions without thermodynamic limits
A new microcanonical equilibrium state is introduced for quantum systems with finite-dimensional state spaces. Equilibrium is characterised by a uniform distribution on a level surface of the expectation value of the Hamiltonian. The distinguishing feature of the proposed equilibrium state is that the corresponding density of states is a continuous function of the energy, and hence thermodynami...
