- Abstract summary: 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.

- Abstract: Non-Hermitian quantum system recently have attracted a lots of attentions
theoretically and experimentally. However, the results based on the
single-particle picture may not apply to understand the property of
non-Hermitian many-body system. How the property of quantum many-body system
especially the phase transition will be affected by the non-hermiticity remains
unclear. Here we study non-Hermitian quantum contact process (QCP) model, whose
effective Hamiltonian is derived from Lindbladian master equation. We show that
there is a continuous phase transition induced by the non-hermiticity in QCP.
We also determine the critical exponents $\beta$ of order parameter, $\gamma$
of susceptibility and study the correlation and entanglement near phase
transition. We observe that the order parameter and susceptibility display
infinitely singularity even for finite size system, since non-hermiticity endow
many-body system with different singular behaviour from classical phase
transition. Moreover our results show that the phase transition have no
counterpart in Hermitian case and belongs to completely different universality
class.

We contribute to expanding the systematic understanding of the interrelation between the equilibrium quantum phase transition and the dynamical quantum phase transition (DQPT)
Specifically, we find that dynamical quantum phase transition relies on the existence of massless it propagating quasiparticles as signaled by their impact on the Loschmidt overlap.
The underlying two dimensional model reveals gapless modes, which do not couple to the dynamical quantum phase transitions, while relevant massless quasiparticles present periodic nonanalytic signatures on the Loschmidt amplitude.
