Quantum phase transitions also occur in non-Hermitian systems. In this work we show that density functional theory, for the first time, uncovers universal behaviors for phase transitions in non-Hermitian many-body systems. To be specific,…
To understand the onset of collective motion, we investigate active systems where particles switch on and off their self-propulsion. We prove that even when the only possible transition is off$\to$on, an active 2-state system behaves as an…
Non-equilibrium critical phenomena generally exist in many dynamic systems, like chemical reactions and some driven-dissipative {reactive} particle systems. Here, by using computer simulation and theoretical analysis, we demonstrate the…
