Abstract

‎The degree of entanglement between components of a bipartite system can serve as a useful criterion for studying Quantum Phase Transitions (QPT)‎. ‎\textbf{The von Neumann entropy and generalized concurrence serve as measures‎, ‎while Schmidt number and Schmidt gap are quantifiers; together‎, ‎they are key tools for identifying QPT.} Using these \textbf{tools}‎, ‎we have examined the QPT in the $U(5)\leftrightarrow SU(3)$ region within \textbf{the first version of} the semiclassical approximation \textbf{of the Interacting Boson Model} (IBM-1)‎. ‎Additionally‎, ‎the Kullback-Leibler divergence \textbf{(KLD)} was employed as a criterion to compare two probability distribution functions to identify the transition region and the critical point‎. ‎The theoretical results indicated that the Schmidt number and Schmidt gap‎, ‎the von Neumann entropy‎, ‎\textbf{generalized concurrence‎, ‎and} the \textbf{KLD} can characterize the transition behavior and critical point ($X(5)$) in this region‎. ‎To verify these results in real nuclei‎, ‎the Dysprosium isotopic chain was selected‎. ‎Using the suggested entanglement measures‎, ‎the symmetry limits and the critical point were identified‎. ‎The results obtained are fully consistent with experimental evidence‎.
