• 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.

  In this work, we investigate the critical fingerprints appearing in key thermodynamical quantities for a mean-field critical system. The presence of a mean-field critical point in a finite-time cycle leads to constant irreversible work even in the limit of infinitely slow driving. We find that the probability of observing negative work values, corresponding to negative irreversible entropy, is inversely proportional to the time the system remains near to the critical point.

  We realize a non-Hermitian phase transition in a bulk condensed-matter system.

Our theory predicts non-Hermitian phase transitions for a large class of condensed-matter systems.

  How the property of quantum many-body system especially the phase transition will be affected by the non-hermiticity remains unclear. We show that there is a continuous phase transition induced by the non-hermiticity in QCP. We observe that the order parameter and susceptibility display infinitely even for finite size system, since non-hermiticity endows universality many-body system with different singular behaviour from classical phase transition.

  We consider the two-dimensional quantum Ising model, in absence of disorder, subject to periodic imperfect global spin flips. We show by a combination of exact diagonalization and tensor-network methods that the system can sustain a spontaneously broken discrete time-translation symmetry. We observe a non-perturbative change in the decay rate of the order parameter, which is related to the long-lived stability of the magnetic domains in 2D.

• Sub-diffusive phases in open clean long-range systems [0.0]
  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.
