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

Deconfined quantum critical point in one dimension [PDF]
Physical review B, 2019 We perform a numerical study of a spin-1/2 model with $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry in one dimension which demonstrates an interesting similarity to the physics of two-dimensional deconfined quantum critical points (DQCP).

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 ...

Liquid-Liquid Critical Point in Phosphorus. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2021 The study of liquid-liquid phase transitions has attracted considerable attention. One interesting example of this phenomenon is phosphorus, for which the existence of a first-order phase transition between a low density insulating molecular phase and a ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
