Diagnosing strong-to-weak symmetry breaking via Wightman correlators

Abstract Symmetry plays a fundamental role in quantum many-body physics, and a central concept is spontaneous symmetry breaking. Recent developments highlight new symmetry-breaking patterns known as strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking, characterized by two different order parameters: the fi...
