The present article proposes a measure of correlation for multiqubit mixed states. The measure is defined recursively, accumulating the correlation of the subspaces, making it simple to calculate without the use of regression. Unlike usual measures, the proposed measure is continuous additive and reflects the dimensionality of the state space, allowing to compare states with different dimensions. Examples show that the measure can signal critical points (CPs) in the analysis of Quantum Phase Transitions (QPTs) in Heisenberg models.

Definition Of

We present, from an information theoretic viewpoint, an analysis of phase transitions and critical phenomena in quantum systems. Our study is based on geometrical considerations within the Riemannian space of thermodynamic parameters that characterize the system. A metric for the space can be derived from an appropriate definition of distance between quantum states. For this purpose, we consider generalized α-divergences that include the standard Kullback–Leibler relative entropy. The use of other measures of information distance is taken into account, and the thermodynamic stability of the system is discussed from this geometric perspective.

In this paper we review recent progress in studying quantum phase transitions in one- and two-component Bose–Einstein condensates (BEC) in optical lattices. These phase transitions involve the emergence and disappearance of quantum coherence over the whole optical lattice and of linear superposition of macroscopic quantum states. The latter may provide new means to engineer and manipulate novel macroscopic quantum states and novel coherent atomic beams for quantum information processing, quantum computing and other purposes.

Graphite Intercalation

Electron microscopy can be used to study structures and phase transitions occurring in graphite intercalations compounds. The fundamental symmetry in graphite intercalation compounds is the staging periodicity whereby each intercalate layer is separated by n graphite layers, n denoting the stage index. The currently accepted model for intercalation proposed by Herold and Daumas assumes that the sample contains equal amounts of intercalant between any two graphite layers and staged regions are confined to domains. Specifically, in a stage 2 compound, the Herold-Daumas domain wall model predicts a pleated lattice plane structure.

Thin GexTe1-x (x = 0.15-0.8) were studied as a model substance of a composite semiconductor film, in addition being of interest for optical storage material. Two complementary modes of time-resolved TEM were used to trace the phase transitions, induced by an attached Q-switched (50 ns FWHM) and frequency doubled (532 nm) Nd:YAG laser. The laser radiation was focused onto the specimen within the TEM to a 20 μm spot (FWHM). Discrete intermediate states were visualized by short-exposure time doubleframe imaging /1,2/. The full history of a transformation was gained by tracking the electron image intensity with photomultiplier and storage oscilloscopes (space/time resolution 100 nm/3 ns) /3/. In order to avoid radiation damage by the probing electron beam to detector and specimen, the beam is pulsed in this continuous mode of time-resolved TEM,too.Short events ( <2 μs) are followed by illuminating with an extended single electron pulse (fig. 1c)
