- Abstract summary: We investigate quantum dynamics of a quantum walker on a finite bipartite non-Hermitian lattice.
Quantum walker initially located on one of the non-leaky sites will finally disappear after a length of evolution time.
The intriguing behavior of the resultant decay probability distribution is intimately related to the existence and specific property of edge states.

- Abstract: We investigate quantum dynamics of a quantum walker on a finite bipartite
non-Hermitian lattice, in which the particle can leak out with certain rate
whenever it visits one of the two sublattices. Quantum walker initially located
on one of the non-leaky sites will finally totally disappear after a length of
evolution time and the distribution of decay probability on each unit cell is
obtained. In one regime, the resultant distribution shows an expected
decreasing behavior as the distance from the initial site increases. However,
in the other regime, we find that the resultant distribution of local decay
probability is very counterintuitive, in which a relatively high population of
decay probability appears on the edge unit cell which is the farthest from the
starting point of the quantum walker. We then analyze the energy spectrum of
the non-Hermitian lattice with pure loss, and find that the intriguing behavior
of the resultant decay probability distribution is intimately related to the
existence and specific property of edge states, which are topologically
protected and can be well predicted by the non-Bloch winding number. The exotic
dynamics may be observed experimentally with arrays of coupled resonator
optical waveguides.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

We focus on the full quantum mechanical description of the integrable system.
For a slow but finite sweep rate we find a broad regime where the quantum results agree with the semiclassical results.
For a single initial energy eigenstate we find in contrast that the backward sweep reveals strong quantum effects even for very large particle numbers.

The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
