What is a quantum phase transition ?Non-analyticity in ground state properties as a function of some control parameter
g
T Quantum-critical
Why study quantum phase transitions ?
ggc• Theory for a quantum system with strong correlations: describe phases on either side of gc by expanding in deviation from the quantum critical point. • Critical point is a novel state of matter without quasiparticle excitations
• Critical excitations control dynamics in the wide quantum-critical region at non-zero temperatures.

Can such a state with bond order be the ground state of a system with full square lattice symmetry ?

Conclusions
I. Introduction to magnetic quantum criticality in coupled dimer antiferromagnet.
II. Theory of quantum phase transitions provides semi-quantitative predictions for neutron scattering measurements of spin-density-wave order in superconductors; theory also proposes a connection to STM experiments.
III. Spontaneous bond order in spin gap state on the square lattice: possible connection to modulations observed in vortex halo.
