We propose that a broad class of excited-state quantum phase transitions (ESQPTs) gives
rise to two different excited-state quantum phases. These phases are identified by means of …

Mechanism of dynamical phase transitions: The complex-time survival amplitude

ÁL Corps, P Stránský, P Cejnar - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Dynamical phase transitions are defined through nonanalyticities of the survival probability
of an out-of-equilibrium time-evolving state at certain critical times. They ensue from zeros of …
