contents Dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) arise from qualitative changes in the long-time behavior of stochastic trajectories, often observed in systems with kinetic constraints or driven out of equilibrium. Here we demonstrate that first-order DPTs can occur even in the large deviations of a single Brownian particle without drift, but only when the system's dimensionality exceeds four. These DPTs are accompanied by temporal phase separations in the trajectories and exhibit dimension-dependent order due to the threshold behavior for bound state formation in Schrödinger operators. We also discover second-order DPTs in one-dimensional Brownian motion, characterized by universal exponents in the rate function of dynamical observables. Our results establish a novel framework linking classical DPTs to quantum phase transitions.
