We show that the quantum order parameters (QOP) associated with the transitions between a normal conductor and a superconductor in the BCS and eta-pairing models and between a Mott-insulator and a superfluid in the Bose-Hubbard model are directly related to the amount of entanglement existent in the ground state of each system. This gives a physical meaningful interpretation to these QOP, which shows the intrinsically quantum nature of the phase transitions considered.

It is shown that in the thermodynamic limit the irreducible part of the nth-order nonlinear susceptibility indicates that the eigenstates of the system contain entangled (n + 1)-qubit clusters, which opens the way to a directly observable multiqubit entanglement signature.

It is speculated whether entanglement could be a generalised order concept by itself, relevant in (quantum induced) phase transitions such as BEC, and that taking this view may help to understand the underlying process of high-T superconductivity.

The ground-state energies in the positive- and negative-parity subspaces of a finite spin-1/2 Ising chain are determined and compared and an expression for the correlation length is suggested that is consistent with the various values found in the literature for its behavior in the vicinity of critical points.

It is proved the existence of gapped quantum Hamiltonians whose ground states exhibit an infinite entanglement length, as opposed to their finite correlation length, and it is reported on evidence that the ground state of an antiferromagnetic chain can be used as a perfect quantum channel if local measurements on the individual spins can be implemented.
