• Abstract summary: We study the interplay between the non-Hermiticity and finite temperature in the context of mixed state dynamical quantum phase transition (MSDQPT) We find that the MSDQPT is always present irrespective of the gap structure of the underlying phase. Surprisingly, the half-integer jumps in winding number at zero-temperature are washed away for finite temperature in the gapless phase.

• Abstract: We investigate the interplay between the non-Hermiticity and finite temperature in the context of mixed state dynamical quantum phase transition (MSDQPT). We consider a $p$-wave superconductor model, encompassing complex hopping and non-Hermiticity that can lead to gapless phases in addition to gapped phases, to examine the MSDQPT and winding number via the intra-phase quench. We find that the MSDQPT is always present irrespective of the gap structure of the underlying phase, however, the profile of Fisher zeros changes between the above phases. Such occurrences of MSDQPT are in contrast to the zero-temperature case where DQPT does not take place for the gapped phase. Surprisingly, the half-integer jumps in winding number at zero-temperature are washed away for finite temperature in the gapless phase. We study the evolution of the minimum time required by the system to experience MSDQPT with the inverse temperature such that gapped and gapless phases can be differentiated. Our study indicates that the minimum time shows monotonic (non-monotonic) behavior for the gapped (gapless) phase.

  We experimentally observe the emergence of the quantum floating phase in 92 neutral-atom qubits. The site-resolved measurement reveals the formation of domain walls within the commensurate ordered phase. As the experimental system sizes increase, we show that the wave vectors approach a continuum of values incommensurate with the lattice.

  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.

  Quantum phase transitions occur when quantum fluctuation destroys order at zero temperature. With an increase in temperature, normally the thermal fluctuation wipes out any signs of this transition. Here we identify a physical quantity that shows non-analytic behaviour at finite temperatures.
