I heard of it several times in colloquiums. But I still cannot grasp the meaning. What is the control parameter in this phase transition?

It doesn't denote a unique phenomenon. Which context do you refer to?

One meaning of the term was introduced in
M. Heyl, A. Polkovnikov, and S. Kehrein, Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 135704 (2013);
they mention several other meanings of the term in the second last paragraph of p.4.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
