RT Journal Article T1 Identifying the order of a quantum phase transition by means of Wehrl entropy in phase space A1 Castaños, Octavio A1 Calixto, M. A1 Pérez Bernal, Francisco A1 Romera, Elvira AB We propose a method to identify the order of a quantum phase transition by using area measures of the groundstate in phase space. We illustrate our proposal by analyzing the well known example of the quantum cusp andfour different paradigmatic boson models: Dicke, Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick, interacting boson model, and vibronmodel.
