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.
