									<p><em>Supervisor: Thomas Pohl </em>
</p>
<p>When you cool a system down to very low temperatures you can reach an energy scale where the macroscopic behaviour of your system becomes quantum mechanical. Non-the less, the equations describing the dynamics in these regimes are ultimately classical. In fact, any phase transition at finite temperature can be described by a classical theory.
</p>
<p>By definition, quantum phase transitions occur at zero temperature. The motivation for this talk is to find out how does the behaviour at T=0 influence the finite temperature regions realizable in experiments? I will introduce the most important concepts from the classical theory of phase transitions. Then I will discuss quantum phase transitions through the example of the transverse field ising model and finally present the results from an experimental study of the finite temperature behaviour near a quantum critical point. </p>
