• Abstract: Phase transitions are emergent phenomena where microscopic interactions drive a disordered system into a collectively ordered phase. Near the boundary between two phases, the system can exhibit critical, scale-invariant behavior. Here, we report on a second-order phase transition accompanied by critical behavior in a system of warm cesium spins driven by linearly-polarized light. The ordered phase exhibits macroscopic magnetization when the interactions between the spins become dominant. We measure the phase diagram of the system and observe the collective behavior near the phase boundaries, including power-law dependence of the magnetization and divergence of the susceptibility. Out of equilibrium, we observe a critical slow-down of the spin response time by two orders of magnitude, exceeding five seconds near the phase boundary. This work establishes a controlled platform for investigating equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of magnetic phases.

  We experimentally observe the emergence of the quantum floating phase in 92 neutral-atom qubits. The site-resolved measurement reveals the formation of domain walls within the commensurate ordered phase. As the experimental system sizes increase, we show that the wave vectors approach a continuum of values incommensurate with the lattice.

  We investigate a generalized Dicke model by introducing two interacting spin ensembles coupled with a single-mode bosonic field. Ferromagnetic spin-spin interaction can significantly reduce the required spin-boson coupling strength to observe the superradiant phase. To examine higher-order quantum effects beyond the mean-field contribution, we utilize the Holstein-Primakoff transformation.

For weak interactions, Abelian bosonization predicts a spin density wave and a fully gapless Luttinger liquid phase. The competition with the zigzag interaction generates a charge density wave, a 'polarized holonic' phase, and a crystalline phase at the filling 2/5.
