Information-entropic signature of the critical point

We investigate the critical behavior of continuous (second-order) phase transitions in the context of (2+1)-dimensional Ginzburg–Landau models with a double-well effective potential. In particular, we show that the recently-proposed configurational entropy (CE)—a measure of the spatial complexity of...
