• Abstract: Phantom relaxation is relaxation with a rate that is not given by a finite spectral gap. Studying the average purity dynamics in a staircase random Haar circuit and the spectral decomposition of a non-symmetric matrix describing the underlying Markovian evolution, we explain how that can arise out of an ordinary-looking spectrum. Crucial are alternating expansion coefficients that diverge in the thermodynamic limit due to the non-Hermitian skin effect in the matrix describing the average purity dynamics under an overall unitary evolution. The mysterious phantom relaxation emerges out of localized generalized eigenvectors describing the Jordan normal form kernel, and, independently, also out of interesting trigonometric sums due to localized true eigenvectors. All this shows that when dealing with non-Hermitian matrices it can happen that the spectrum is not the relevant object; rather, it is the pseudospectrum, or, equivalently, a delicate cancellation enabled by localized eigenvectors.

  Non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems feature steady-state entanglement transitions driven by unitary dynamics and dissipation. We show that the steady state is obtained by filling single-particle right eigenstates with the largest imaginary part of the eigenvalue. We illustrate these principles in the Hatano-Nelson model with periodic boundary conditions and the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model.

• Fate of dissipative hierarchy of timescales in the presence of unitary dynamics [0.0]
  generic behavior of purely dissipative open quantum many-body systems with local dissipation processes can be investigated using random matrix theory. Here, we analyze how this spectrum evolves when unitary dynamics is present, both for the case of strongly and weakly dissipative dynamics. For the physically most relevant case of (dissipative) two-body interactions, we find that the correction in the first order of the perturbation vanishes. For weak dissipation, the spectrum flows into clusters with well-separated eigenmodes, which we identify to be the local symmetries of the Hamiltonian.

  We show that the most important measures of quantum chaos like frame potentials, scrambling, Loschmidt echo, and out-of-time correlators (OTOCs) can be described by the unified framework of the isospectral twirling. We show that, by exploiting random matrix theory, these measures of quantum chaos clearly distinguish the finite time profiles of probes to quantum chaos.
