• Title: $\mathcal{PT}$ phase transition in open quantum systems with Lindblad dynamics
• Authors: Yuma Nakanishi and Tomohiro Sasamoto
• Abstract summary: We show that the eigenvalue structure of the Liouvillian clearly changes at the $mathcalPT$ symmetry breaking point. In particular, in a $mathcalPT$ unbroken phase, some eigenvalues are pure imaginary numbers while in a $mathcalPT$ broken phase, all the eigenvalues are real. Our results support the validity of the proposed criterion of Liouvillian $mathcalPT$ symmetry.

• Abstract: We investigate parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) phase transitions in open quantum systems and discuss a criterion of Liouvillian $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry proposed recently by Huber \textit{et al}. [J. Huber \textit{et al}., SciPost Phys. $\textbf{9}$, 52 (2020)]. Using the third quantization, which is a general method to solve the Lindblad equation for open quadratic systems, we show, with a proposed criterion of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry, that the eigenvalue structure of the Liouvillian clearly changes at the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry breaking point for an open 2-spin model with exactly balanced gain and loss if the total spin is large. In particular, in a $\mathcal{PT}$ unbroken phase, some eigenvalues are pure imaginary numbers while in a $\mathcal{PT}$ broken phase, all the eigenvalues are real. From this result, it is analytically shown for an open quantum system including quantum jumps that the dynamics in the long time limit changes from an oscillatory to an overdamped behavior at the proposed $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry breaking point. Furthermore, we show a direct relation between the criterion of Huber \textit{et al}. of Liouvillian $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry and the dynamics of the physical quantities for quadratic bosonic systems. Our results support the validity of the proposed criterion of Liouvillian $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry.

  We present a quantum generalization of these tools through a generic bottleneck lemma. This lemma focuses on quantum measures of distance, analogous to the classical Hamming distance but rooted in uniquely quantum principles. Even with sublinear barriers, we use Feynman-Kac techniques to lift classical to quantum ones establishing tight lower bound $T_mathrmmix = 2Omega(nalpha)$.
