In this article we consider a critical thermodynamic system with the shape of a thin film confined between two parallel planes. It is assumed that the state of the system at a given temperature and external ordering field is described by order-parameter profiles, which minimize the one-dimensional counterpart of the standard ϕ4 Ginzburg–Landau Hamiltonian and meet the so-called Neumann – Neumann boundary conditions. We give analytic representation of the extremals of this variational problem in terms ofWeierstrass elliptic functions. Then, depending on the temperature and ordering field we determine the minimizers and obtain the phase diagram in the temperature-field plane.

Critical slowing down of the time it takes a system to reach equilibrium is a key signature of bistability in dissipative first-order phase transitions. Understanding and characterizing this process can shed light on the underlying many-body dynamics that occur close to such a transition. Here, we explore the rich quantum activation dynamics and the appearance of critical slowing down in an engineered superconducting quantum circuit. Specifically, we investigate the intermediate bistable regime of the generalized Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian (GJC), realized by a circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) system consisting of a transmon qubit coupled to a microwave cavity. We find a previously unidentified regime of quantum activation in which the critical slowing down reaches saturation and, by comparing our experimental results with a range of models, we shed light on the fundamental role played by the qubit in this regime.
