• Abstract: We study charge pumping in generic non-Hermitian settings and show that quantized charge pumping is only guaranteed under a biorthogonal formalism therein, where the charge transport is evaluated using the left and right eigenvectors of the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. Specifically, for biorthogonal charge pumping in generic one-dimensional non-Hermitian models, we demonstrate how quantized transport is related to the Chern number in the parameter space. When the non-Hermitian model possesses the non-Hermitian skin effect, under which Bloch states in the bulk are deformed and localize toward boundaries, we propose a scenario where the pumped charge is related to the non-Bloch Chern number defined in the parameter space involving the generalized Brillouin zone. We illustrate the validity of our analytic results using concrete examples and, in the context of the biorthogonal charge pumping, discuss in detail a recent experiment where quantized charge pumping was observed in a lossy environment.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

  We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator. Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration. This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

• Correlation-Assisted Quantized Charge Pumping [0.0]
  We study a prototypical Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with finite-range interaction that gives rise to orbital charge density wave order. In the ordered phase, where the many-body topological invariant loses quantization, we find that not only is quantized charge pumping still possible, but it is even assisted by the collective nature of the orbital charge density wave order.
