Ground-state fidelity in the Dicke model shows no abrupt jumps in the superradiant phase when parity symmetry is considered. This corrects previous interpretations linking fidelity jumps to chaos transitions.
Area of Science:
- Quantum optics
- Condensed matter physics
- Many-body systems
Background:
- The Dicke model describes light-matter interactions.
- Ground-state fidelity measures quantum state similarity.
- Previous studies observed fidelity jumps in the superradiant phase.
