Non-reciprocal phase transitions

M Fruchart, R Hanai, PB Littlewood, V Vitelli - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Out of equilibrium, a lack of reciprocity is the rule rather than the exception. Non-reciprocity
occurs, for instance, in active matter,,,,–, non-equilibrium systems,–, networks of neurons …

Non-Hermitian many-body localization

R Hamazaki, K Kawabata, M Ueda - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
Many-body localization is shown to suppress the imaginary parts of complex eigenenergies
for general non-Hermitian Hamiltonians having time-reversal symmetry. We demonstrate …

Anomalous helical edge states in a non-Hermitian Chern insulator

K Kawabata, K Shiozaki, M Ueda - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
A non-Hermitian extension of a Chern insulator and its bulk-boundary correspondence are
investigated. It is shown that in addition to the robust chiral edge states that reflect the …

Information retrieval and criticality in parity-time-symmetric systems

K Kawabata, Y Ashida, M Ueda - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
By investigating information flow between a general parity-time (PT-) symmetric non-
Hermitian system and an environment, we find that the complete information retrieval from …

Skin superfluid, topological Mott insulators, and asymmetric dynamics in an interacting non-Hermitian Aubry-André-Harper model

DW Zhang, YL Chen, GQ Zhang, LJ Lang, Z Li, SL Zhu - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS

effectively described by the non-Hermitian Kitaev/Majorana chain with parity-time symmetry …

Critical fluctuations at a many-body exceptional point

R Hanai, PB Littlewood - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
Critical phenomena arise ubiquitously in various contexts of physics, from condensed
matter, high-energy physics, cosmology, to biological systems, and consist of slow and long …

Skin effect and dynamical delocalization in non-Hermitian quasicrystals with spin-orbit interaction

A Chakrabarty, S Datta - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The investigation of the spectral and dynamical delocalization-localization (DL) transitions
have revealed intriguing features in a wide expanse of non-Hermitian systems. The present …

Entanglement in nonequilibrium steady states and many-body localization breakdown in a current-driven system

A Panda, S Banerjee - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We model a one-dimensional current-driven interacting disordered system through a non-
Hermitian Hamiltonian with asymmetric hop** and study the entanglement properties of its …

Parity-time symmetry breaking in spin chains

A Galda, VM Vinokur - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
We investigate nonequilibrium phase transitions in classical Heisenberg spin chains
associated with spontaneous breaking of parity-time (PT) symmetry of the system under the …
