• Abstract: Using the Husimi function, we investigate the phase space signatures of the excited state quantum phase transitions (ESQPTs) in the Lipkin and coupled top models. We show that the time evolution of the Husimi function exhibits distinct behaviors between the different phases of an ESQPT and the presence of an ESQPT is signaled by the particular dynamics of the Husimi function. We also evaluate the long time averaged Husimi function and its associated marginal distributions, and discuss how to identify the signatures of ESQPT from their properties. Moreover, by exploiting the second moment and Wherl entropy of the long-time averaged Husimi function, we estimate the critical points of ESQPTs, demonstrating a good agreement with the analytical results. We thus provide further evidence that the phase space methods is a valuable tool for the studies of phase transitions and also open a new way to detect ESQPTs.

  We provide an analysis of recent results in the context of measurement-induced phase transitions in quantum systems. Recent results show how varying the rate of projective measurements can induce phase transitions. We present results on the non-local effects of local measurements by examining the field theory of critical ground states in Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids.
