• Abstract: We study a time-dependent non-Hermitian extension of the Schütte-Da~Providência spin-boson Hamiltonian with complex couplings. A time-dependent Dyson map containing a squeezing transformation maps the model, in an admissible bounded regime, to a Hermitian Hamiltonian with real instantaneous energy spectrum. The squeezing contribution generates a dilatation term allowing the Hermitian partner to be interpreted as a fixed-domain representation of a system with moving boundaries. While the fixed-boundary Hermitian model conserves $Q=N-S_0$ and forbids transitions between sectors differing by two bosonic quanta, the boundary motion opens such channels. For closed boundary protocols with constant background parameters the first-order integrated transition amplitude vanishes, reflecting the unitary nature of constant squeezing. Nontrivial transition control arises when the non-Hermitian parameter varies during the boundary motion, changing the dressed basis and allowing boundary-induced transitions to be suppressed or enhanced by coherent interference.

  We study the damping dynamics of the single-particle correlation for an open system under periodic and aperiodic order. Due to the non-Hermitian skin effect, the damping dynamics is boundary sensitive.
