Non-Hermitian topological phases exhibit a number of exotic features that have no Hermitian counterparts, including the skin effect and breakdown of the conventional bulk-boundary correspondence. Here, we implement the non-Hermitian…

We introduce a simple criterion for lattice models to predict quantitatively the crossover between the classical and the quantum scaling of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism, as the one observed in a quantum $\phi^4$-model on a 1D lattice [Phys.…

We investigate the transition from PT-symmetry to PT-symmetry breaking and vice versa in the non-Hermitian Landau-Zener (LZ) models. The energy is generally complex, so the relaxation rate of the system is set by the absolute value of the…
