Lee-Yang phase transition theory (LYT) is a cornerstone in statistical physics, elucidating phase transition through the complex zeros of partition function, termed Lee-Yang zeros (LYZ). LYZ signal phase transitions when they approach the real axes of thermodynamic fields (e.g., temperature or pressure). Originally developed in 1952 for the Ising model, LYT has been extended to diverse model systems, demonstrating significant potential in condensed matter physics. Historically, its applications in realistic systems were limited by the complex/imaginary nature of LYZ. Recent experimental and computational progresses in detecting and deriving LYZ have stimulated innovative investigations into dynamical quantum phase transition, supercritical phenomena, non-equilibrium phase transition, making LYT a cutting-edge tool for understanding realistic systems.
