- Abstract: We demonstrate a new type of non-Hermitian phase transition in open systems
far from thermal equilibrium, which takes place in coupled systems interacting
with reservoirs at different temperatures. The frequency of the maximum in the
spectrum of energy flow through the system plays the role of the order
parameter, and is determined by an analog of the -potential. The phase
transition is exhibited in the frequency splitting of the spectrum at a
critical point, the value of which is determined by the relaxation rates and
the coupling strengths. Near the critical point, fluctuations of the order
parameter diverge according to a power law. We show that the critical exponent
depends only on the ratio of reservoir temperatures. This dependence indicates
the non-equilibrium nature of the phase transition at the critical point. This
new non-Hermitian phase transition can take place in systems without
exceptional points.

We show that a one-dimensional ordered fermionic lattice system with power-law-decaying hopping features two phases showing sub-diffusive scaling of conductance with system size.
In the open system scenario, there occurs two chemical-potential-driven sub-diffusive to ballistic phase transitions at zero temperature.
We argue that the sub-diffusive phases are robust against the presence of arbitrary number-conserving many-body interactions in the system.
