Abstract

In Chaps. 3 and 4 we have examined equilibrium and nonequilibrium features of the quantum phase transition (QPT) exhibited by the quantum Rabi model (QRM). As we have emphasized, this finite-component system QPT differs from conventional phase transitions in many-body systems as it appears without scaling up system constituents. The present chapter exploits this fact, proposing a single trapped-ion experiment in which universal features of a superradiant QPT can be examined. This chapter completes, and also complements, the previous Chaps. 3 and 4 involving the QRM.
