General theory for discrete symmetry-breaking equilibrium states in quantum systems

ÁL Corps, A Relaño - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
Spontaneous symmetry breaking in phase transitions occurs when the system Hamiltonian
is symmetric under a certain transformation, but the equilibrium states observed in nature …
