• Abstract summary: We study the damping dynamics of the single-particle correlation for an open system under periodic and aperiodic order. Due to the non-Hermitian skin effect, the damping dynamics is boundary sensitive. We propose a possible scheme with ultracold atoms in a dissipative momentum lattice to realize and detect the damping dynamics.

• Abstract: We study the damping dynamics of the single-particle correlation for an open system under periodic and aperiodic order, which is dominated by the Lindblad master equation. In the absence of the aperiodic order, the Liouvillian superoperator exhibits the non-Hermitian skin effect, which leads to unidirectional damping dynamics, dubbed as "chiral damping". Due to the non-Hermitian skin effect, the damping dynamics is boundary sensitive: The long-time damping of such open systems is algebraic under periodic boundary conditions but exponential under open boundary conditions. We reveal the phase transition with the inclusion of the hopping amplitude modulation. By using the spectral topology and a finite-size scaling analysis in the commensurate case, we show there exists a phase transition of the skin effect with non-Bloch anti-parity-time symmetry breaking. For the incommensurate case, we find richer phases with the coexistence of the non-Hermitian skin effect and the Anderson localization, which are separated by a generalized mobility edge. We reveal the transition of the damping dynamics as a consequence of the phase transition. Furthermore, we propose a possible scheme with ultracold atoms in a dissipative momentum lattice to realize and detect the damping dynamics.

• Slow decay rate of correlations induced by long-range extended Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions [0.0]
  In the nearest-neighbor XY model with DM interaction, the transition from the gapless chiral phase to a gapped one occurs when the strengths of the DM interaction and anisotropy coincide. We show that the critical line gets modified with the range of interactions which decay according to power-law. We illustrate that in a non-equilibrium setting, the relaxation dynamics of classical correlation, the decay rate of total correlation, and the growth rate of entanglement entropy can be employed to uncover whether the evolving Hamiltonian and the Hamiltonian corresponding to the initial state are gapped or gapless.
