• Abstract: The dynamics of non-Hermitian quantum systems have taken on an increasing relevance in light of quantum devices which are not perfectly isolated from their environment. The interest in them also stems from their fundamental differences from their Hermitian counterparts, particularly with regard to their spectral and eigenvector correlations. These correlations form the fundamental building block for understanding the dynamics of quantum systems as all other correlations can be reconstructed from it. In this work, we study such correlations across a localisation transition in non-Hermitian quantum systems. As a concrete setting, we consider non-Hermitian power-law banded random matrices which have emerged as a promising platform for studying localisation in disordered, non-Hermitian systems. We show that eigenvector correlations show marked differences between the delocalised and localised phases. In the delocalised phase, the eigenvectors are strongly correlated as evinced by divergent correlations in the limit of vanishingly small complex eigenvalue spacings. On the contrary, in the localised phase, the correlations are independent of the eigenvalue spacings. We explain our results in the delocalised phase by appealing to the Ginibre random matrix ensemble. On the other hand, in the localised phase, an analytical treatment sheds light on the suppressed correlations, relative to the delocalised phase. Given that eigenvector correlations are fundamental ingredients towards understanding real- and imaginary-time dynamics with non-Hermitian generators, our results open a new avenue for characterising dynamical phases in non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems.

We also demonstrate that entanglement velocities, which govern the spreading of entanglement, are encoded in higher correlations of the EB.

  We consider correlations between eigenstates specific to spatially extended systems and that characterise entanglement dynamics and operator spreading. The correlations associated with scrambling of quantum information lie outside the standard framework established by the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis (ETH) We establish the simplest correlation function that captures these correlations and discuss features of its behaviour that are expected to be universal at long distances and low energies.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We present a theory of localisation in quasiperiodic chains with nearest-neighbour hoppings, based on the convergence of local propagators. Analysing the convergence of these continued fractions, localisation or its absence can be determined, yielding in turn the critical points and mobility edges. Results are exemplified by analysing the theory for three quasiperiodic models covering a range of behaviour.
