• Abstract: In an amended version of non-Hermitian interaction picture we propose to work with the states $\psi(t)$ in a dyadic representation. The control of evolution via two conjugate Schr\"{o}diner equations then renders the usual necessity of the construction of the time-dependent inner-product-metric operator $\Theta(t)$ redundant. The primary information about dynamics is assumed carried by a non-Hamiltonian observable (say, $R(t)$). A specific realization of phase transitions is then rendered possible via the Kato's exceptional-point (EP) degeneracy of the eigenvalues of $R(t)$ at the EP time $t=t^{(EP)}$. For illustration a cosmological model is proposed mimicking the unitary-evolution birth of the Universe from an initial quantum Big Bang singularity.

  The non-Hermitian paradigm of quantum systems displays salient features drastically different from Hermitian counterparts. We propose a formalism that quantifies the (dis-)similarity of these right and left ensembles, for single- as well as many-particle quantum properties. Our findings can be instrumental in unveiling new exotic quantum phases of non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems.

Our key message is that contrary to the conventional beliefs and in spite of the unitarity of the evolution of the system, neither its "Heisenbergian Hamiltonian" $Sigma(t)$ nor its "Schr"odingerian Hamiltonian" $G(

  We study discrete-time quantum walks on $d$-cycles with a position and coin-dependent phase-shift. For prime $d$ there exists a strong complementarity property between the eigenvectors of two quantum walk evolution operators. We show that the complementarity is still present in the continuous version of this model, which corresponds to a one-dimensional Dirac particle.

This leads to deformed, sub-bosonic commutation relations inducing a simple algebraic structure with modified eigenenergies and Fock states. In addition, we investigate possible consequences of the introduced formalism in quantum field theories, as for instance, deviations from linearity in the dispersion relation for free quasibosons.
