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.

Shape phase transitions in nuclei, an example of quantum phase transitions in mesoscopic systems, are briefly reviewed. Spectral signatures of critical points in finite quantal systems are discussed and experimental examples are shown.

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.
