Quantum Phase Transitions and Correlated Electrons

Qimiao Si A

This article is aimed at a pedagogical introduction to the physics of quantum phase transitions that is unique to metallic systems. It has been recognized for some time that quantum criticality can result in a breakdown of Landau's Fermi liquid theory. Its converse, however, has not been appreciated until very recently: non-Fermi liquid behavior can in turn lead to new classes of quantum phase transition. A concrete example is provided by ``local quantum critical points''. I summarize the theoretical reasoning and experimental evidence for local quantum criticality, in the context of heavy fermion metals. The underlying physics is likely to be relevant to other correlated electron systems including doped Mott insulators.

Quantum phase transitions

In these lecture notes, recent theoretical and experimental work on quantum phase transitions, in particular, in metals with strong electronic interactions will be reviewed. After an introduction to classical and quantum phase transitions, we will briefly discuss the standard model of metals, i.e., the Landau Fermi‐liquid theory, and routes to non‐Fermi‐liquid behavior. We will then focus on two different types of quantum phase transitions, magnetic quantum phase transitions in heavy‐fermion systems, and metal‐insulator transitions in heavily doped semiconductors.

Footprints of impurity quantum phase transitions in quantum Monte Carlo statistics

The authors investigate how the statistics of the expansion order in a quantum Monte Carlo simulation is affected by the presence of a quantum critical point and illustrate these effects on the impurity quantum phase transition in a superconducting quantum dot.

Quantum phase transition in coupled quantum dots

Natan Andrei, Gergely T. Zimányi, Gerd Schön

We study two quantum dots in the limit of strong dot-lead coupling and weak dot-dot tunneling. The model maps on Ising-coupled Kondo impurities. We argue that a new quantum critical fixed point exists at an intermediate value of the mutual capacitance, supporting non-Fermi-liquid behavior. We construct the total conductance across the double dot structure. It exhibits a strongly peaked behavior as a function of the mutual capacitance, gate voltage, and temperature.
