Abstract:The interplay of quantum and classical fluctuations in the vicinity of a quantum critical point (QCP) gives rise to various regimes or phases with distinct quantum character. In this work, we show that the Rényi entropy is a precious tool to characterize the phase diagram of critical systems not only around the QCP but also away from it, thanks to its capability to detect the emergence of local order at finite temperature. For an efficient evaluation of the Rényi entropy, we introduce a new algorithm based on … Show more
