Defining stable phases of open quantum systems
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 …

Ring structure in the complex plane: A fingerprint of a non-Hermitian mobility edge
SZ Li, Z Li - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
By Avila's global theory, we analytically reveal that the non-Hermitian mobility edge will take
on a ring structure in the complex plane, which we name as the “mobility ring”. The …

Dimensional transmutation from non-hermiticity
H Jiang, CH Lee - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Dimensionality plays a fundamental role in the classification of novel phases and their
responses. In generic lattices of 2D and beyond, however, we found that non-Hermitian …
