- Abstract: A recent study shows that an emergent evolution dimension, in addition to time, can be induced if the quantum system depends on a continuous parameter. The evolution in the emergent evolution dimension is described by a parallel transport, the closest fiber bundle analog to a geodesic in (pseudo-)Riemannian geometry. Nevertheless, the evolution in the emergent dimension often exhibits some singular behaviors at critical points. In this work, we demonstrate that these singularities can be indications of quantum phase transitions. We then show that these singularities, like those at the black hole event horizon, can be removed locally.
