Mathematical Theory for Quantum Phase Transitions

Abstract: Quantum Phase Transition (QPT) is a phase transition between different quantum states by adjusting some control parameters. Based on the Principle of Hamilton Dynamics (PHD) and the Principle of Lagrangian Dynamics (PLD), a general QPT model is established. Also, a definition of QPT is given. The important point is that the QPT model is applied to Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) and the corresponding bifurcation solutions (i.e., the quantum states) are obtained by using steady state bifurcation theory.
