• Title: Exceptional Bound States and negative Entanglement Entropy
• Authors: Ching Hua Lee
• Abstract summary: This work introduces a new class of robust states known as Exceptional Boundary (EB) states. EB states occur in the presence of exceptional points, which are non-Hermitian critical points where eigenstates coalesce and fail to span the Hilbert space. Their resultant EB eigenstates are characterized by robust anomalously large or negative occupation probabilities.

• Abstract: This work introduces a new class of robust states known as Exceptional Boundary (EB) states, which are distinct from the well-known topological and non-Hermitian skin boundary states. EB states occur in the presence of exceptional points, which are non-Hermitian critical points where eigenstates coalesce and fail to span the Hilbert space. This eigenspace defectiveness not only limits the accessibility of state information, but also interplays with long-range order to give rise to singular propagators only possible in non-Hermitian settings. Their resultant EB eigenstates are characterized by robust anomalously large or negative occupation probabilities, unlike ordinary Fermi sea states whose probabilities lie between zero and one. EB states remain robust after a variety of quantum quenches and give rise to enigmatic negative entanglement entropy contributions. Through suitable perturbations, the coefficient of the logarithmic entanglement entropy scaling can be continuously tuned. EB states represent a new avenue for robustness arising from geometric defectiveness, independent of topological protection or non-reciprocal pumping.

  Non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems feature steady-state entanglement transitions driven by unitary dynamics and dissipation. We show that the steady state is obtained by filling single-particle right eigenstates with the largest imaginary part of the eigenvalue. We illustrate these principles in the Hatano-Nelson model with periodic boundary conditions and the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model.

  Adiabatic edge state pumping (ESP) in one dimensional model has important applications in topological phase transition and quantum simulation. We show that this process involves two non-adiabatic points during the transition between the edge state and bulk state. In a relatively long chain with weak disorder, the ESP can break down due to the anti-crossing of the edge state and the bulk edge states.

  Exceptional bound (EB) states represent an unique new class of robust bound states protected by non-Hermitian exceptional points. EB states have been physically elusive, being originally interpreted as negative probability eigenstates of the propagator of non-Hermitian Fermi gases. We show that EB states are in fact far more ubiquitous, also arising robustly in broad classes of systems whether classical or quantum.

  We devise a generic and experimentally accessible recipe to prepare boundary states of topological or nontopological quantum systems. We harness the spatial structure of boundary states which vanish on sublattices where losses are suitably engineered. This yields unique nontrivial steady states that populate the targeted boundary states with infinite lifetimes while all other states are exponentially damped in time.

  We focus on the many-body eigenstates across a localization-delocalization phase transition. In the ergodic phase, the average of eigenstate overlaps $barmathcalO$ is exponential decay with the increase of the system size. For localized systems, $barmathcalO$ is almost size-independent showing the strong robustness of the eigenstates.
