• Abstract: We study the effect of PT-symmetric non-hermiticity on the transport of edge state probability density arising as a result of a quench. A hybrid system involving a PT-symmetric SSH region sandwiched between two plain SSH systems is designed to study the dynamics. Geometrical arguments and numerical calculations were made to ascertain the nature of edge states. We then compute the quench dynamics numerically and demonstrate that the post-quench probability density light cones exhibit contrasting shapes as a result of asymmetrical reflections from the non-Hermitian part of the system depending on the direction of propagation of the transporting wave and, hence, on the initial localization of the edge state.

  We find that the transport arising as a result of quench is asymmetric in the sense that there is imbalance in reflection in transport from left and right. We discuss the switching as emergence from the underlying phenomenon of a partial reorganization of bulk states in terms of localization and energy.

  Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states. We implement the one-dimensional kicked Ising model which exhibits non-local Majorana edge modes (MEMs) with $mathbbZ$ parity symmetry. MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism.
