Fluctuation-driven electroweak phase transition.
We examine the dynamics of the electroweak phase transition in the early Universe. For Higgs masses in the range 46 < MH < 150 GeV and top quark masses less than 200 GeV, regions of symmetric and asymmetric vacuum coexist to below the critical temperature, with thermal equilibrium between the two phases maintained by fluctuations oi both phases. We propose that the transition to the asymmetric ...
متن کاملFirst-order superconducting transition near a ferromagnetic quantum critical point.
We address the issue of how triplet superconductivity emerges in an electronic system near a ferromagnetic quantum critical point (FQCP). Previous studies found that the superconducting transition is of second order, and T(c) is strongly reduced near the FQCP due to pair-breaking effects from thermal spin fluctuations. In contrast, we demonstrate that near the FQCP, the system avoids pair-break...
متن کاملFirst Order Quantum Phase Transition in Adiabatic Quantum Computation
We investigate the connection between local minima in the problem Hamiltonian and first order quantum phase transitions during an adiabatic quantum computation. We demonstrate how some properties of the local minima can lead to an extremely small gap that is exponentially sensitive to the Hamiltonian parameters. Using perturbation expansion, we derive an analytical formula that can not only pre...
متن کاملWeak First Order Phase Transitions in Quantum Ferroelectrics
We discuss the possibility of weak first order transition in the domain of pressure induced phase transitions in a quantum ferroelectric as a consequence of order parameter fluctuations. We start with a semi-microscopic Hamiltonian, where polarization fluctuations are controlled by hydrostatic pressure via strain coupling, which above certain strength of coupling constant, kills second order tr...
متن کاملA density-driven first-order phase transition in liquid sulfur
First-order phase transitions are characterized by a discontinuous first derivative of the Gibbs free energy, so that volumes and entropies are discontinuous. Such transitions are common in the crystalline state, but extremely rare in liquid substances and experimentally evidenced in only one pure element, phosphorus. Here we report combined in-situ Raman scattering, X-ray diffraction and densi...
