• Abstract: While the Hamiltonians used in standard quantum mechanics are Hermitian, it is also possible to extend the theory to non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Particularly interesting are non-Hermitian Hamiltonians satisfying parity-time (PT) symmetry, or more generally pseudo-Hermiticity, since such non-Hermitian Hamiltonians can still exhibit real eigenvalues. In this work, we present a quantum simulation of the time-dependent non-Hermitian non-PT-symmetric Hamiltonian used in a pseudo-Hermitian extension of the Landau-Zener-St\"uckelberg-Majorana (LZSM) model. The simulation is implemented on a superconducting processor by using Naimark dilation to transform a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian for one qubit into a Hermitian Hamiltonian for a qubit and an ancilla; postselection on the ancilla state ensures that the qubit undergoes nonunitary time-evolution corresponding to the original non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. We observe properties such as the dependence of transition rates on time and the replacement of conservation of total probability by other dynamical invariants in agreement with predictions based on a theoretical treatment of the pseudo-Hermitian LZSM system.

  We develop a framework of integral quantization applied to the motion of spinless particles in the four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The proposed scheme is based on coherent states generated by the action of the Heisenberg-Weyl group. A direct application of our model, including a computation of transition amplitudes between states characterized by fixed positions and momenta, is postponed to a forthcoming article.

  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.

  We propose an alternative formalism that turns any non-autonomous unitary dynamical system into an autonomous unitary system. This makes the simulation with time-dependent Hamiltonians not much more difficult than that of time-independent Hamiltonians. We show how our new quantum protocol for time-dependent Hamiltonians can be performed in a resource-efficient way and without measurements.

  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.
