• Abstract summary: An excited-state quantum phase transition might also stem from the lowering of the energy of the corresponding energy functional. One such example occurs in the 2D limit of the vibron model, once an anharmonic term in the form of a bosonic number operator is added to the Hamiltonian. In the present work, we characterize it in the symmetric, previously overlooked phase of the model making use of quantities such as the effective frequency, the expected value of the quantum number operator, the participation ratio, the density of states, and the quantum fidelity susceptibility.

• Abstract: In most cases, excited state quantum phase transitions can be associated with the existence of critical points (local extrema or saddle points) in a system's classical limit energy functional. However, an excited-state quantum phase transition might also stem from the lowering of the asymptotic energy of the corresponding energy functional. One such example occurs in the 2D limit of the vibron model, once an anharmonic term in the form of a quadratic bosonic number operator is added to the Hamiltonian. The study of this case in the broken-symmetry phase was presented in Phys. Rev. A. 81 050101 (2010). In the present work, we delve further into the nature of this excited-state quantum phase transition and we characterize it in the, previously overlooked, symmetric phase of the model making use of quantities such as the effective frequency, the expected value of the quantum number operator, the participation ratio, the density of states, and the quantum fidelity susceptibility. In addition to this, we extend the usage of the quasilinearity parameter, introduced in molecular physics, to characterize the phases in the spectrum of the anharmonic 2D limit of the vibron model and a down-to-earth analysis has been included with the characterization of the critical energies for the linear isomers HCN/HNC.

  We present a quantum simulator comprising 69 superconducting qubits which supports both universal quantum gates and high-fidelity analog evolution.

We digitally prepare the system in pairwise-entangled dimer states and image the transport of energy and vorticity during thermalization.

• Constant of motion identifying excited-state quantum phases [0.0]
  A broad class of excited-state quantum phase transitions (ESQPTs) gives rise to two different excited-state quantum phases. These phases are identified by means of an operator, $hatmathcalC$, which is a constant of motion only in one of them. We present stringent numerical evidence in the Rabi and Dicke models, suggesting that this result is exact in the thermodynamic limit.

  We investigate quantum phase transitions, quantum criticality, and Berry phase for the ground state of an ensemble of non-interacting two-level atoms. The optical medium is pumped externally through a classical electric field, so that there is a degenerate parametric amplification effect. It is remarkable that the model allows the control of the quantum criticality through a suitable choice of the parameters of the non-linear optical medium.

  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
