• Abstract summary: We show that for a non-Hermitian hybridization, $lambda$ can renormalize the exceptional point even in the non-interacting case. We show that in the strong coupling regime, $lambda$ and interactions co-operate in strongly reducing the critical point associated with Kondo destruction.

• Abstract: The non-interacting and non-Hermitian, parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$)-symmetric Anderson model exhibits an exceptional point (EP) at a non-Hermitian coupling $g=1$, which remains unrenormalized in the presence of interactions (Lourenco et al, arXiv:1806.03116), where the EP was shown to coincide with the quantum critical point (QCP) for Kondo destruction. In this work, we consider a quantum dot hybridizing with metallic leads having Rashba spin-orbit coupling ($\lambda$). We show that for a non-Hermitian hybridization, $\lambda$ can renormalize the exceptional point even in the non-interacting case, stabilizing $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry beyond $g=1$. Through exact diagonalization of a zero-bandwidth, three-site model, we show that the quantum critical point and the exceptional point bifurcate, with the critical point for Kondo destruction at $g_c=1$, and the exceptional coupling being $g_{\scriptscriptstyle{EP}} > 1$ for all $U\neq 0$ and $\lambda\geq 0; \lambda\neq U/2$. On the line $\lambda=U/2$, the critical point and the EP again coincide at $g_c=g_{\scriptscriptstyle{EP}}=1$. The full model with finite bandwidth leads is investigated through the slave-boson approach, using which we show that, in the strong coupling regime, $\lambda$ and interactions co-operate in strongly reducing the critical point associated with Kondo destruction, below the $\lambda=0$ value.

  A quantum system governed by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian may exhibit zero temperature phase transitions driven by interactions. We show that when the $mathcalPT$ symmetry is broken, and time-evolution becomes non-unitary, a scaling behavior similar to the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition ensues.

  We study the nontrivial renormalization-group scenario of fixed-point annihilation in spin-boson models. We find a tunable transition between two localized phases that can be continuous or strongly first-order. We also find scaling behavior at the symmetry-enhanced first-order transition, for which the inverse correlation-length exponent is given by the bath exponent.

  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

  We study phase-space properties of critical, parity symmetric, $N$-quDit systems undergoing a quantum phase transition. For finite $N$, parity can be restored by projecting DSCS onto $2D-1$ different parity invariant subspaces. Pres of the QPT are then visualized for finite $N$ by plotting the Husimi function of these parity projected DSCS in phase space.
