Quantum Phase Transition in finite system Quantum Phase Transition in finite system
Quantum Phase Transition (QPT) between competing ground-state phases induced by variation of a non-thermal control parameter at zero temperature.
In atomic nuclei:1st and 2nd order QPT: abrupt transition in shapes.
Control Par. Number of nucleons
Two approaches to study QPT Method of Landau based on potentials (not observables) Direct computation of order parameters (integer con. par.)
Combine both approaches in a self-consistent microscopic framework

Microscopic signatures (order parameter)
Conclusion: even though the control parameter is finite number of nucleons, the phase transition does not appear to be significantly smoothed out by the finiteness of the nuclear system.

Are the remarkable results for 1st order QPT accidental ? Can the same EDF describe other types of QPT in different
mass regions ?

Microscopic analysis of nuclear QPT
PESs display clear shape transitions The spectrum and characteristic features have been reproduced well for both 1st & 2nd order QPT The microscopic signatures have shown that the phase transition does not appear to be significantly smoothed out by the finiteness of nuclear system.
