• Abstract: We investigate phase transitions in a non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model with an imaginary chemical potential via Krylov spread complexity and Krylov fidelity. The spread witnesses the $\mathcal{PT}$-transition for the non-Hermitian Bogoliubov vacuum of the SSH Hamiltonian, where the spectrum goes from purely real to complex (oscillatory dynamics to damped oscillations). In addition, it also witnesses the transition occurring in the $\mathcal{PT}$-broken phase, where the spectrum goes from complex to purely imaginary (damped oscillations to sheer decay). For a purely imaginary spectrum, the Krylov spread fidelity, which measures how the time-dependent spread reaches its stationary state value, serves as a probe of previously undetected dynamical phase transitions.

  This study investigates phase-driven symmetry breaking leading to superradiance phase transitions in non-Hermitian quantum Rabi cavities. We analytically derive the superradiance phase boundary, validated by observables. We identify phase-driven first- and second-order superradiance phase transitions, focusing on the quantum criticality of the second-order transition.

  We investigate a one-dimensional, non-reciprocal, interacting hard-core boson model under a Stark potential with tail curvature. We numerically confirm that the critical points of spectral real-complex (RC) transition and many-body localization (MBL) phase transition are not identical. This work provides a useful reference for further research on phase transitions in disorder-free interacting non-Hermitian systems.

• Phase transitions in non-Hermitian superlattices [0.0]
  We investigate the energy spectral phase transitions arising in one-dimensional superlattices under an imaginary gauge field. It is shown that in models displaying nearly flat bands a smooth phase transition, from quasi entirely real to complex energies, can be observed as the imaginary gauge field is increased.

• Complex Berry phase and imperfect non-Hermitian phase transitions [6.816938564119971]
  spectral phase transitions from an entirely real energy spectrum to a complex spectrum can be observed in classical and quantum systems. When the system is slowly and periodically cycled, the phase transition can become smooth, i.e. imperfect. This is illustrated by considering the spectral phase transition of the Wannier-Stark ladders in a PT-symmetric class of two-band non-Hermitian lattices.

• Continuous phase transition induced by non-Hermiticity in the quantum contact process model [44.58985907089892]
  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.

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.
