- Title: Work statistics and thermal phase transitions
- Authors: Ze-Zhou Zhang and Wei Wu
- Abstract summary: We report a nonanalytic behavior of the averaged work done, which occurs at finite temperature, in the Dicke model.
It is revealed that work statistics can be viewed as a signature of the thermal phase transition when the quenched parameters are tuned across the critical line.

- Abstract: Many previous studies have demonstrated that work statistics can exhibit
certain singular behaviors in the quantum critical regimes of many-body systems
at zero or very low temperatures. However, as the temperature increases, it is
commonly believed that such singularities will vanish. Contrary to this common
recognition, we report a nonanalytic behavior of the averaged work done, which
occurs at finite temperature, in the Dicke model as well as the
Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model subjected to the sudden quenches of their work
parameters. It is revealed that work statistics can be viewed as a signature of
the thermal phase transition when the quenched parameters are tuned across the
critical line that separates two different thermal phases.
