Non-Hermitian bulk–boundary correspondence in quantum dynamics

L **ao, T Deng, K Wang, G Zhu, Z Wang, W Yi, P Xue - Nature Physics, 2020 - nature.com
Bulk–boundary correspondence, a guiding principle in topological matter, relates robust
edge states to bulk topological invariants. Its validity, however, has so far been established …

Quantum walk and its application domains: A systematic review

K Kadian, S Garhwal, A Kumar - Computer Science Review, 2021 - Elsevier

Entanglement spectrum and entropy in topological non-Hermitian systems and nonunitary conformal field theory

PY Chang, JS You, X Wen, S Ryu - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
We study entanglement properties of free-fermion systems without Hermiticity by use of
correlation matrix and overlap matrix in the biorthogonal basis. We find at a critical point in …
