• Abstract: The phase transition is both thermodynamically and quantum-mechanically ubiquitous in nature or laboratory and its understanding is still one of most active issues in modern physics and related disciplines. The Landau's theory provides a general framework to describe \textit{phenomenologically} the phase transition by the introduction of order parameters and the associated symmetry breakings; and is also taken as starting point to explore the critical phenomena in connection with phase transitions in renormalization group, which provides a complete theoretical description of the behavior close to the critical points. In this sense the microscopic mechanism of the phase transition remains still to be uncovered. Here we make a first attempt to explore the microscopic mechanism of the superradiant phase transition in the quantum Rabi model (QRM). We firstly perform a diagonalization in an operator space to obtain three fundamental patterns involved in the QRM and then analyze explicitly their energy evolutions with increasing coupling strengths. The characteristic behaviors found uncover the microscipic mechanism of the superradiant phase transition: one is active to drive the happening of phase transition, the second responses rapidly to the change of the active pattern and wakes up the third pattern to stablize the new phase. This kind of dissecting mechanism explains for the first time why and how happens the superradiant phase transition in the QRM and paves a way to explore the microscopic mechanism of the phase transitions happening popularly in nature.

  Spontaneous symmetry breaking plays a central role in understanding a large variety of phenomena associated with phase transitions. We report an experimental demonstration of such a process with a quantum Rabi model engineered with a superconducting circuit. Results demonstrate that the environment-induced decoherence plays a critical role in the SSB.

  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.
