Abstract: The study of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase transition stands as a cornerstone in understanding the fundamental forces and properties of the universe. In this talk, I will start by discussing the impact of the axial U1 anomaly on the nature of the chiral phase transition and its underlying mechanism. Then, I will present our recent findings on the microscopic origin of the macroscopic criticality associated with the chiral phase transition. Additionally, I will discuss the changes in the degrees of freedom and the strength of the transition in the strong magnetic fields, facilitated by fluctuations in the net baryon number, electric charge, and strangeness. Finally, I will propose that the baryon electric charge correlation, acting as a magnetometer of QCD, can be used to detect the existence of a magnetic field in the late stage of heavy ion collisions. This talk is based on arXiv: 2305.10916 and 2312.08860.
