Non-Hermitian physics in open quantum many-body systems provides novel opportunities for the discovery of exotic quantum phenomena unexpected in Hermitian systems. A previous study of the non-Hermitian Kondo problem in ultracold atoms…
Recent experiments by Potok et al. have demonstrated a remarkable tunability between a single-channel Fermi liquid fixed point and a two-channel non-Fermi liquid fixed point. Motivated by this we study the nonequilibrium dynamics due to a…
We show a general relation between fixed point stability of suitably perturbed transfer operators and convergence to equilibrium (a notion which is strictly related to decay of correlations). We apply this relation to deterministic…
Transitions from classical to quantum behaviour in a spin system with two degenerate ground states separated by twin energy barriers which are asymmetric due to an applied magnetic field are investigated. It is shown that these transitions…
The quantum coherence of one dimensional planar spin models with the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction is investigated. The anisotropic XY model, the isotropic XX model and the transverse field model are studied in the large N-limit using…
In order to study the "problem of time", Rovelli proposed a model of a two harmonic oscillator system where one of the oscillators can be thought of as a 'clock' for the other oscillator. In this paper we examine a model where the…
The Kondo-Spin Glass competition is studied in a theoretical model of a Kondo lattice with an intra-site Kondo type exchange interaction treated within the mean field approximation, an inter-site quantum Ising exchange interaction with…
We analyze two simple models derived from a quantum-mechanical particle on an elliptical path. The first Hamiltonian operator is non-Hermitian but equivalent to an Hermitian operator. It appears to exhibit the same two-fold degeneracy as…
In this paper, we describe some interesting properties of a non-Hermitian Jaynes-Cummings model. For this particular model, it is known that the Hilbert space can be described by infinitely-many two-dimensional invariant (closed) subspaces,…
The population decay due to a small opening in an otherwise closed cavity supporting chaotic classical dynamics displays a quantum correction on top of the classical exponential form, a pure manifestation of quantum coherence that acquires…
We study the problem of robust performance of quantum systems under structured uncertainties. A specific feature of closed (Hamiltonian) quantum systems is that their poles lie on the imaginary axis and that neither a coherent controller…
A new technique for proving fixed point theorems for families of holomorphic transformations of operator balls is developed. One of these theorems is used to show that a bounded representation in a real or complex Hilbert space is…
The two-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator is modified with reflection terms associated with the action of the Coxeter group $B_2$, which is the symmetry group of the square. The angular momentum operator is also modified with…
A direct classical analog of the quantum dynamics of intrinsic decoherence in Hamiltonian systems, characterized by the time dependence of the linear entropy of the reduced density operator, is introduced. The similarities and differences…
The destruction of quantum coherence by environmental influences is investigated taking the damped harmonic oscillator and the dissipative two-state system as prototypical examples. It is shown that the location of the coherent-incoherent…
We identify emergent topological phenomena such as dynamic Chern numbers and dynamic quantum phase transitions in quantum quenches of the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Hamiltonian with parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry. Their…
The realization of a genuine phase transition in quantum mechanics requires that at least one of the Kato's exceptional-point parameters becomes real. A new family of finite-dimensional and time-parametrized quantum-lattice models with such…
Optomechanical systems, due to its inherent nonlinear optomechanical coupling, owns rich nonlinear dynamics of different types of motion. The interesting question is that whether there exist some common quantum features to infer the…
We study the spectral properties of a spin-boson Hamiltonian that depends on two continuous parameters $0\leq\Lambda<\infty$ (interaction strength) and $0\leq\alpha\leq\pi/2$ (integrability switch). In the classical limit this system has…
Quantum criticality that goes beyond the Landau framework of order-parameter fluctuations is playing a central role in elucidating the behavior of strange metals. A prominent case appears in Kondo lattice systems, which have been…
