Non-Hermitian topological phenomena: A review

N Okuma, M Sato - Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2023 - annualreviews.org
The past decades have witnessed an explosion of interest in topological materials, and a lot
of mathematical concepts have been introduced in condensed matter physics. Among them …

Nonequilibrium boundary-driven quantum systems: Models, methods, and properties

GT Landi, D Poletti, G Schaller - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2022 - APS
Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

Entanglement phase transition induced by the non-Hermitian skin effect

K Kawabata, T Numasawa, S Ryu - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
Recent years have seen remarkable development in open quantum systems effectively
described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. A unique feature of non-Hermitian topological …

Many-body topology of non-Hermitian systems

K Kawabata, K Shiozaki, S Ryu - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Non-Hermiticity gives rise to unique topological phases that have no counterparts in
Hermitian systems. Such intrinsic non-Hermitian topological phases appear even in one …

Liouvillian skin effect: Slowing down of relaxation processes without gap closing

T Haga, M Nakagawa, R Hamazaki, M Ueda - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
It is highly nontrivial to what extent we can deduce the relaxation behavior of a quantum
dissipative system from the spectral gap of the Liouvillian that governs the time evolution of …

Defining stable phases of open quantum systems

T Rakovszky, S Gopalakrishnan, C Von Keyserlingk - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
The steady states of dynamical processes can exhibit stable nontrivial phases, which can
also serve as fault-tolerant classical or quantum memories. For Markovian quantum …

Lieb-schultz-mattis theorem in open quantum systems

K Kawabata, R Sohal, S Ryu - Physical review letters, 2024 - APS
The Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) theorem provides a general constraint on quantum many-
body systems and plays a significant role in the Haldane gap phenomena and topological …

Quantum anomaly, non-Hermitian skin effects, and entanglement entropy in open systems

N Okuma, M Sato - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
We investigate the roles of non-Hermitian topology in spectral properties and entanglement
structures of open systems. In terms of spectral theory, we give a unified understanding of …

Topology by dissipation: Majorana bosons in metastable quadratic markovian dynamics

VP Flynn, E Cobanera, L Viola - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Majorana bosons, that is, tight bosonic analogs of the Majorana fermionic quasiparticles of
condensed-matter physics, are forbidden for gapped free bosonic matter within a standard …

Topological zero modes and edge symmetries of metastable Markovian bosonic systems

VP Flynn, E Cobanera, L Viola - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Tight bosonic analogs of free-fermionic symmetry-protected topological phases, and their
associated edge-localized excitations, have long evaded the grasp of condensed-matter …
