Nonequilibrium and nonhomogeneous phenomena around a first-order quantum phase transition

We consider nonequilibrium phenomena in a very simple model that displays a zero-temperature first-order phase transition. The quantum Ising model with a four-spin exchange is adopted as a general representative of first-order quantum phase transitions that belong to the Ising universality class, su...
