1. Quark Condensate

   Linked via "QCD phase transition"

   Temperature Dependence
   As the temperature of strongly interacting matter increases, the thermal fluctuations begin to dominate the quantum vacuum state's structure. Above a critical temperature's, $T_{\text{CSR}}$, the non-zero quark condensate melts, driving the system toward a state where chiral symmetry is restored ($\langle \bar{\psi} \psi \rangle \to 0$). This transition is generally modeled as a smooth, crossover phenomenon for light [quark …
