• Abstract: In nature, everything occurs at finite temperature and quantum phase transitions (QPTs) cannot be an exception. Nevertheless, they are still mainly discussed and formulated at zero temperature. We show that the condensation QPTs recently introduced at zero temperature can naturally be extended to finite temperature just by replacing ground state energies with corresponding free energies. We illustrate this criterion in the paradigmatic Grover model and in a system of free fermions in a one-dimensional inhomogeneous lattice. In agreement with expected universal features, the two systems show structurally similar phase diagrams. Last, we explain how finite temperature condensation QPTs can be used to construct quantum annealers having, at finite temperature, output-probability exponentially close to 1 in the system size. As examples we consider again the Grover model and the fermionic system, the latter being well within the reach of present heterostructure technology.

• Topological phase transitions at finite temperature [0.0]
  We introduce two main aspects to the theory of mixed state topology. First, we discover topological phase transitions as a function of the temperature T, manifesting as changes in winding number of the EGP accumulated over a closed loop in parameter space. Second, we demonstrate that the EGP itself becomes quantized when key symmetries are present, allowing it to be viewed as a topological marker which can undergo equilibrium topological transitions at non-zero temperatures.

We furthermore study the stability of the phases with respect to temperature within the mean-field approximation.

  entropy produced when a system undergoes an infinitesimal quench is directly linked to the work parameter susceptibility, making it sensitive to the existence of a quantum critical point. We show that these individual contributions continue to exhibit signatures of the quantum phase transition, even at arbitrarily high temperatures.
