Quantum Phase Transitions: Hidden Patterns in Space and Time
Quantum Phase Transitions: Hidden Patterns in Space and Time
Phase transitions are a familiar part of life, representing predictable paths by which solids turn to liquids, mixtures turn to solutions, magnets become nonmagnetic. Temperature plays a central role in driving many phase transitions, however there are others that don’t depend on temperature at all—such as instabilities in social networks, bird flocking, and even the process of visual recognition in humans.
