Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="andp201370101-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Sketch of a quasi one‐dimensional Wigner crystal of mutually repelling quantum particles (e.g. ions) in a cigar‐shaped trap. Depending on the radial confinement, the equilibrium configuration is either a linear structure (top layer) or a zig‐zag structure (bottom layer). In the article by P. Silvi et al., a full characterization of such quantum phase transition is studied, through theory and numerical methods.</p> <p>Picture: P.
