Quantum-Induced Phase Transitions via Entanglement Propagation
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
Quantum-induced phase transitions are a fascinating area of research, offering potential for novel technological applications. This paper explores the use of entanglement propagation as a method for identifying and quantifying these transitions within quantum systems. We propose a new framework that models the transition as a network of entangled particles, where the propagation of entanglement directly dictates the rate of the transition. This approach offers a dynamic and potentially more insightful understanding of phase transitions compared to traditional static models. The core mechanism involves quantifying the entanglement propagation as a key indicator of the transition. The goal is to provide a robust and quantitative tool for characterizing these phenomena. This work directly addresses the limitations of current phase transition theories by embracing entanglement as a fundamental driver.
