An exactly solvable model is presented that exhibits a phase transition and that can be exactly described by Landau's phase transition theory. The model is used to elucidate the constructs and assumptions that go into the Landau theory, and also to illustrate the role of fluctuations near an instability in a finite system.

In this paper, Landau theory for phase transitions is shown to be a useful approach also for quantal system such as atomic nucleus. A detailed analysis of critical exponents of ground state quantum phase transition between and limits of interacting boson model is presented.
