We show that the ESQPT is evinced by the dynamics of the Husimi function, that exhibits a distinct time dependence in the different ESQPT phases. We also discuss how to identify the ESQPT signatures from the long-time averaged Husimi function and its associated marginal distributions. Moreover, from the calculated second moment and Wherl entropy of the long-time averaged Husimi function, we estimate the critical points of the ESQPT in both models, obtaining a good agreement with analytical (mean field) results. We provide a firm evidence that phase space methods are both a new probe for the detection and a valuable tool for the study of ESQPTs.}, organization = {National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) 11805165}, organization = {Zhe-jiang Provincial Nature Science Foundation LY20A050001}, organization = {Slovenian Research Agency - Slovenia J1-9112 P1-0306}, organization = {European Commission SOMM17/6105/UGR}, organization = {EDER/MINECO UNHU-15CE-2848}, organization = {Consejeria de Conocimiento, Investigacion y Universidad, Junta de An-dalucia UHU-1262561}, organization = {Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovacion y Universidades COOPB20364}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, title = {Signatures of excited-state quantum phase transitions in quantum many-body systems: Phase space analysis}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevE.104.034119}, author = {Wang, Qian and PĂ©rez Bernal, Francisco}, }
