• Abstract: The cooperation between time-periodic driving fields and non-Hermitian effects could endow systems with distinctive spectral and transport properties. In this work, we uncover an intriguing class of non-Hermitian Floquet matter in one-dimensional quasicrystals, which is characterized by the emergence of multiple driving-induced ${\cal PT}$-symmetry breaking/restoration, mobility edges, and reentrant localization transitions. These findings are demonstrated by investigating the spectra, level statistics, inverse participation ratios and wavepacket dynamics of a periodically quenched nonreciprocal Harper model. Our results not only unveil the richness of localization phenomena in driven non-Hermitian quasicrystals, but also highlight the advantage of Floquet approach in generating unique types of nonequilibrium phases in open systems.

  In this work, we reveal entanglement transitions in the context of non-Hermitian Floquet systems. We find that the monotonic increase of quenched hopping amplitude could flip the system between volume-law and area-law entangled Floquet phases. Our findings build a foundation for exploring entanglement phase transitions in Floquet non-Hermitian setups.

• Continuous phase transition induced by non-Hermiticity in the quantum contact process model [44.58985907089892]
  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.
