• Title: Holographic Non-Hermitian Lattices and Junctions with PT-Restoring RG Flows
• Authors: Daniel Arean, David Garcia-Fariña,
• Abstract summary: We study inhomogenoeus non-Hermitian strongly coupled holographic field theories. We find solutions that spontaneously break PT and solutions that do not. This leads us to claim that there is a PT-symmetry restoration in the IR, similar to the one observed in the perturbative setup of arXiv:2110.05289.

• Abstract: We construct and study inhomogenoeus non-Hermitian strongly coupled holographic field theories. We consider two models: a lattice where in each site there is some inflow/outflow of matter and a Hermitian/non-Hermitian/Hermitian junction. Depending on whether we turn on a complex external gauge field, we find solutions that spontaneously break PT (thus hinting at a lack of unitary evolution) and solutions that do not. The former present an imaginary current responsible for the spontaneous breaking of PT. We also study the IR geometry of these solutions finding that they flow to a PT-unbroken fixed point. This leads us to claim that there is a PT-symmetry restoration in the IR, similar to the one observed in the perturbative setup of arXiv:2110.05289.

  In non-Hermitian systems, preserved chiral symmetry is one of the key ingredients, which plays a pivotal role in determining non-Hermitian topology. We theoretically predict and experimentally demonstrate the bulk-boundary correspondence of a one-dimensional (1D) non-Hermitian system with chiral symmetry breaking.

  We show how the competition between two measurement processes give rise to two distinct Quantum Zeno (QZ) regimes. We develop a theory based on a Gutzwiller ansatz for the wavefunction that is able to capture the structure of the Hilbert phase diagram. We show how the two QZ regimes are intimately connected to the topology of the flow of the underlying non-Hermitian Hamiltonian governing the no-click evolution.

  We show topologically ordered states in the complex-valued spectra of non-Hermitian systems.

We provide a protocol for observing the YLES by detecting kinked dynamical magnetization responses due to broken PT symmetry. We propose an explicit proposal for observing YLES criticality in Floquet quenched Rydberg atomic arrays with laser-induced loss.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
