• Abstract: As pointed out by Coleman, physical quantities in the Schwinger model depend on a parameter $\theta$ that determines the background electric field. There is a phase transition for $\theta = \pi$ only. We develop a momentum space formalism on a lattice and use it to perform a quantum computation of the critical point of this phase transition on the NISQ device IMB Q Lima. After error mitigation, our results give strong indication of the existence of a critical point at $m/e\simeq 0.32$, where $m$ is the bare fermion mass and $e$ is the coupling strength, in good agreement with the classical numerical result $m/e \simeq 0.3335$.

  We investigate the dynamics of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model, composed of $N$ all-to-all interacting spins $1/2$, under a weak external monitoring. We derive a set of semiclassical equations describing the evolution of the expectation values of global spin observables, which become exact in the thermodynamic limit. The transition is not affected by post-selection issues, as it is already visible at the level of ensemble averages.

  How the property of quantum many-body system especially the phase transition will be affected by the non-hermiticity remains unclear. We show that there is a continuous phase transition induced by the non-hermiticity in QCP. We observe that the order parameter and susceptibility display infinitely even for finite size system, since non-hermiticity endows universality many-body system with different singular behaviour from classical phase transition.
