Free Fock parafermions in the tight-binding model with dissipation

Parafermions that generalize (Majorana or usual) fermions appear as interacting quasi-particles because of their nature. Although attempts to develop models with free (non-interacting) parafermions have been undertaken, existing proposals require unphysical conditions such as realizing purely non-Hermitian systems. Here we present a way for the realization of free Fock parafermions in the tight-binding model with controlled dissipation of a very simple form. Introducing dissipation transforms an originally non-integrable quantum model to an exactly solvable classical one.
