• Title: Exploring dynamical quantum phase transition from pure states to mixed states through generalized Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models
• Authors: Kaiyuan Cao, Jian Wang,
• Abstract summary: We investigate dynamic quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) in both pure and mixed states within the framework of the generalized SSH model. We find that the SSH-3 model, characterized by a chiral-like point symmetry rather than true chiral symmetry, supports robust localized edge states associated with its topological properties. For mixed states, DQPT behavior is consistent at low temperatures, but significant changes are observed at high temperatures, resulting in the emergence of multiple critical times.

• Abstract: We investigate dynamic quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) in both pure and mixed states within the framework of the generalized SSH model, specifically analyzing the SSH-3 and SSH-4 models, which exhibit different symmetries. We find that the SSH-3 model, characterized by a chiral-like point symmetry rather than true chiral symmetry, supports robust localized edge states associated with its topological properties. Our results show that DQPTs for pure states occur following a quench that crosses the topological transition, even with an open energy band gap. For mixed states, DQPT behavior is consistent at low temperatures, but significant changes are observed at high temperatures, resulting in the emergence of multiple critical times. In contrast, the SSH-4 model, which possesses chiral symmetry, allows for the analysis of two distinct energy spectrum configurations. We conclude that the occurrence of DQPTs for pure states in the SSH-4 model necessitates a quench from an initial state without a band gap while crossing the critical point of the topological transition, whereas DQPTs are absent for mixed states at elevated temperatures.

  Recent interest in exceptional points has led to re-examination of non-Hermitian generalizations of many physical models. In such non-Hermitian systems, singular points called exceptional points (EPs) appear that are of interest for applications in super-resolution sensing systems and topological lasers. It is found that while the existence of the EPs is due to the nonreciprocal couplings, the number, position, and order of the EPs can all be altered by the addition of the hopping amplitude gradient.

  We study dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) in the quenched extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model. Anomalous DQPTs, where the number of critical momenta exceeds the winding number differences between the pre-quench and post-quench phases, are observed. We categorize the phases in the equilibrium model into two classes and distinctive features in the time evolution of the entanglement involving quenches within and across the two classes are identified.

  entropy dynamics as an indicator of physical behavior in an open two-state system with balanced gain and loss is presented. We distinguish the perspective taken in utilizing the conventional framework of Hermitian-adjoint states from an approach that is based on biorthogonal-adjoint states and a third case based on an isospectral mapping.

  Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain is the reference model of a one-dimensional topological insulator. Here, we harness recent graph-theoretical results to construct families of setups whose unit cell features neither of these symmetries. This causes the isospectral reduction -- akin to an effective Hamiltonian -- of the resulting lattice to have the form of an SSH model.
