• Abstract: Studying the implications and characterizations of the excited state quantum phase transitions (ESQPTs) would enable us to understand various phenomena observed in quantum many body systems.In this work, we delve into the affects and characterizations of the ESQPTs in the anharmonic Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model by means of the entropy of the quantum work distribution. The entropy of the work distribution measures the complexity of the work distribution and behaves as a valuable tool for analyzing nonequilibrium work statistics.We show that the entropy of the work distribution captures salient signatures of the underlying ESQPTs in the model.In particular, a detailed analyses of the scaling behavior of the maximal entropy verifies thatit acts as a witness of the ESQPTs. We further demonstrate that the entropy of the work distribution also reveals the features of the ESQPTs in the energy space and can be used to determine their critical energies. Our results provide further evidence of the usefulness of the entropy of the work distribution for investigating various phase transitions in quantum many body systems and open up a promising way for experimentally exploring the signatures of ESQPTs.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

• Wehrl entropy production rate across a dynamical quantum phase transition [0.0]
  The quench dynamics of many-body quantum systems may exhibit non-analyticities in the Loschmidt echo. We show that critical quenches lead to a quasi-monotonic growth of the Wehrl entropy in time, combined with small oscillations. The small oscillations imply negative entropy production rates and, therefore, signal the recurrences of the Loschmidt echo.

• Quantum Statistical Complexity Measure as a Signalling of Correlation Transitions [55.41644538483948]
  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.
