We show how ordinary, finite-temperature tools of Statistical Mechanics can be used to detect quantum phase transitions in many-body systems. In particular, statistical correlations exhibit a quite idiosyncratic behavior at the critical interaction-strengths. Moreover, what one may call "soft quantum phase-transitions" (crossings of excited states) are characterized by the rather special way of vanishing that these correlations adopt.
