Quantum annealed criticality: A scaling description

Experimentally there exist many materials with first-order phase transitions at finite temperature that display quantum criticality. Classically, a strain-energy density coupling is known to drive first-order transitions in compressible systems, and here we generalize this Larkin et al. [Zh. Eksp. T...
