Exploring quantum phase transitions by the cross derivative of the ground state energy

In this work, the cross derivative of the Gibbs free energy, initially proposed for phase transitions in classical spin models (Chen et al 2020 Phys. Rev. B 101 165123), is extended for quantum systems. We take the spin-1 XXZ chain with anisotropies as an example to demonstrate its effectiveness and...
