RESUMO
Using the Wehrl entropy, we study the delocalization in phase space of energy eigenstates in the vicinity of avoided crossings in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. These avoided crossings, appearing at intermediate energies in a certain parameter region of the model, originate classically from pairs of trajectories lying in different phase-space regions which, contrary to the low-energy regime, are not connected by the discrete parity symmetry of the model. As coupling parameters are varied, a sudden increase of the Wehrl entropy is observed for eigenstates participating in avoided crossings that are close to the critical energy of the excited-state quantum phase transition. This allows us to detect when an avoided crossing is accompanied by a superposition of the pair of classical trajectories in the Husimi function of eigenstates. This superposition yields an enhancement of dynamical tunneling, which is observed by considering initial Bloch states that evolve partially into the partner region of the paired classical trajectories, thus breaking the quantum-classical correspondence in the evolution of observables.
