Critical-point wedge filling and critical-point wetting
Physical Review EFor simple fluids adsorbed at a planar solid substrate (modeled as an inert wall) it is known that critical-point wetting, that is, the vanishing of the contact angle θ at a temperature T_{w} lying below that of the critical point T_{c}, need not occur. While critical-point wetting necessarily happens when the wall-fluid and fluid-fluid forces have the

Enhanced metrology at the critical point of a many-body Rydberg atomic system [PDF]
Nature Physics, 2022 Interacting many-body systems display enhanced sensitivity close to critical transition points due to diverging quantum fluctuations. This criticality-based enhancement has been suggested as a potential resource for applications in precision metrology ...

Evidence for a pressure-induced antiferromagnetic quantum critical point in intermediate-valence UTe2. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2020 Multicomponent superconductivity in intermediate-valence UTe2 emerges from an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point. UTe2 is a recently discovered unconventional superconductor that has attracted much interest because of its potentially spin-triplet ...

Soft pions and transport near the chiral critical point [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2021 Background: During the expansion of a heavy ion collision, the system passes close to the O(4) critical point of QCD, and thus the fluctuations of the order parameter (σ, ~π) are expected to be enhanced. Purpose: Our goal is to compute how these enhanced

A quantum magnetic analogue to the critical point of water [PDF]
Nature, 2020 At the liquid–gas phase transition in water, the density has a discontinuity at atmospheric pressure; however, the line of these first-order transitions defined by increasing the applied pressure terminates at the critical point1, a concept ubiquitous in

Modeling the diffusive dynamics of critical fluctuations near the QCD critical point [PDF]
Physical Review D, 2020 The experimental search for the QCD critical point by means of relativistic heavy-ion collisions necessitates the development of dynamical models of fluctuations.

Strangeness-neutral equation of state for QCD with a critical point [PDF]
The European Physical Journal Plus, 2020 We present a strangeness-neutral equation of state for QCD that exhibits critical behavior and matches lattice QCD results for the Taylor-expanded thermodynamic variables up to fourth order in μB/T\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath ...

The Cortex and the Critical Point
, 2022 How the cerebral cortex operates near a critical phase transition point for optimum performance. Individual neurons have limited computational powers, but when they work together, it is almost like magic.

Entanglement Oscillations near a Quantum Critical Point. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2020 We study the dynamics of entanglement in the scaling limit of the Ising spin chain in the presence of both a longitudinal and a transverse field. We present analytical results for the quench of the longitudinal field in the critical transverse field ...

Random critical point separates brittle and ductile yielding transitions in amorphous materials [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Understanding how amorphous solids yield in response to external deformations is crucial both for practical applications and for theoretical reasons.
