- Abstract: Despite its fully unitary dynamics, the bosonic Kitaev chain (BKC) displays
key hallmarks of non-Hermitian physics including non-reciprocal transport and
the non-Hermitian skin effect. Here we demonstrate another remarkable
phenomena: the existence of an entanglement phase transition (EPT) in a variant
of the BKC that occurs as a function of a Hamiltonian parameter g, and which
coincides with a transition from a reciprocal to a non-reciprocal phase. As g
is reduced below a critical value, the post-quench entanglement entropy of a
subsystem of size l goes from a volume-law phase where it scales as l to a
super-volume law phase where it scales like lN with N the total system size.
This EPT occurs for a system undergoing purely unitary evolution and does not
involve measurements, post-selection, disorder or dissipation. We derive
analytically the entanglement entropy out of and at the critical point for the
$l=1$ and $l/N \ll 1$ case.

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.

A broad class of excited-state quantum phase transitions (ESQPTs) gives rise to two different excited-state quantum phases.
These phases are identified by means of an operator, $hatmathcalC$, which is a constant of motion only in one of them.
We present stringent numerical evidence in the Rabi and Dicke models, suggesting that this result is exact in the thermodynamic limit.
