We present a modification to the bosonic Kitaev chain that, despite being Hermitian, supports both nonHermitian skin effect and nontrivial topological edge modes in its excitation Hamiltonian. We establish an exact mapping between the…

We discuss the time evolution of physical finite dimensional systems which are modelled by non-hermitian Hamiltonians. We address both general non-hermitian Hamiltonians and pseudo-hermitian ones. We apply the theory of Krein Spaces to…

The quantum measurement axiom dictates that physical observables and in particular the Hamiltonian must be diagonalizable and have a real spectrum. For a time-independent Hamiltonian (with a discrete spectrum) these conditions ensure the…

We study a time-dependent non-Hermitian extension of the Sch\"utte-Da~Provid\^encia spin-boson Hamiltonian with complex couplings. A time-dependent Dyson map containing a squeezing transformation maps the model, in an admissible bounded…

Phase transitions are fundamental in nature. A small parameter change near a critical point leads to a qualitative change in system properties. Across a regular phase transition, the system remains in thermal equilibrium and, therefore,…

A phenomenological Hamiltonian of a closed (i.e., unitary) quantum system is assumed to have an $N$ by $N$ real-matrix form composed of a unperturbed diagonal-matrix part $H^{(N)}_0$ and of a tridiagonal-matrix perturbation…

We show that the dynamics induced by post-selected measurements can serve as a controlled route to access physical processes beyond the boundaries of Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid physics. We consider a one-dimensional fermionic wire whose…

We demonstrate that quantum fluctuations can cause, under certain conditions, the dynamical instability of pure states that can result in their evolution into mixed states. It is shown that the degree and type of such an instability are…
