Entanglement and quantum order parameters
Abstract
We show that the quantum order parameters (QOPs) associated with the transitions between a normal conductor and a superconductor in the BCS and η-pairing models and between a Mott-insulator and a superfluid in the Bose–Hubbard model are directly related to the amount of entanglement existent in the ground state of each system. This connection gives a physical meaningful interpretation to these QOP, which shows the intrinsically quantum nature of the phase transitions considered.
