From quantum Rabi model to Jaynes-Cummings model: symmetry-breaking quantum phase transitions, topological phase transitions and multicriticalities

Abstract

We study the ground state (GS) and excitation gap of anisotropic quantum Rabi model (QRM) which connects the fundamental QRM and the Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM). While the GS has a second-order quantum phase transition (QPT) in the low frequency limit, turning on finite frequencies we shed a novel light on the phase diagram to illuminate a fine structure of first-order transition series. We find the QPT is accompanied with a hidden symmetry breaking, whereas the emerging series transitions are topological transitions without symmetry breaking. The topological structure of the wave function provides a novel universality classification in bridging the QRM and the JCM. We show that the conventionally established triple point is actually a quintuple or sextuple point and following the penta-/hexa-criticality emerge a series of tetra-criticalities.
