Criticality around the Spinodal Point of First-Order Quantum Phase Transitions
A microscopic theory shows first-order quantum phase transitions exhibit hidden second-order criticality and Kibble-Zurek scaling around their spinodal points via an effective Hamiltonian obtained by projecting onto an emergent symmetric subspace.
