Non-Hermitian systems with specific forms of Hamiltonians can exhibit novel phenomena. However, it is difficult to study their quantum thermodynamical properties. In particular, the calculation of work statistics can be challenging in non-Hermitian systems due to the change of state norm. To tackle this problem, we modify the two-point measurement method in Hermitian systems. The modified method can be applied to non-Hermitian systems which are Hermitian before and after the evolution. In Hermitian systems, our method is equivalent to the two-point measurement method. When the system is non-Hermitian, our results represent a projection of the statistics in a larger Hermitian system. As an example, we calculate the work statistics in a non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. Our results reveal several differences between the work statistics in non-Hermitian systems and the one in Hermitian systems.

We investigate the dynamical properties for non-Hermitian triple-well system with a loss in the middle well. When chemical potentials in two end wells are uniform and nonlinear interactions are neglected, there always exists a dark state, whose eigen energy becomes zero, and the projections onto which do not change over time and the loss factor. The increasing of loss factor only makes the damping form from the oscillating decay to over-damping decay. However, when the nonlinear interaction is introduced, even interactions in the two end wells are also uniform, the projection of the dark state will be obviously diminished. Simultaneously the increasing of loss factor will also aggravate the loss. In this process the interaction in the middle well plays no role. When two chemical potentials or interactions in two end wells are not uniform all disappear with time. In addition, when we extend the triple-well system to a general (2n + 1)-well, the loss is reduced greatly by the factor 1=2n in the absence of the nonlinear interaction.

The monopole for the geometric curvature is studied for non-Hermitian systems. We find that the monopole contains not only the exceptional points but also branch cuts. As the mathematical choice of branch cut in the complex plane is rather arbitrary, the monopole changes with the branch-cut choice. Despite this branch-cut dependence, our monopole is invariant under the $GL(l,mathbb{C})$ gauge transformation that is inherent in non-Hermitian systems. Although our results are generic, they are presented in the context of a two-mode non-Hermitian Dirac model. A corresponding two-mode Hermitian system is also discussed to illustrate the essential difference between monopoles in Hermitian systems and non-Hermitian systems.
Eigenspectra of a spinless quantum particle trapped inside a rigid, rectangular, two-dimensional (2D) box subject to diverse inner potential distributions are investigated under hermitian, as well as non-hermitian antiunitary $mathcal{PT}$ (composite parity and time-reversal) symmetric regimes. Four sectors or stripes inscribed in the rigid box comprising contiguously conjoined parallel rectangular segments with one side equaling the entire width of the box are studied. The stripes encompass piecewise constant potentials whose exact, complete energy eigenspectrum is obtained employing matrix mechanics. Various striped potential compositions, viz. real valued ones in the hermitian regime as well as complex, non-hermitian but $mathcal{PT}$ symmetric ones are considered separately and in conjunction, unraveling among typical lowest lying eigenvalues, retention and breakdown scenarios engendered by the $mathcal{PT}$ symmetry, bearing upon the strength of non-hermitian sectors. Some states exhibit a remarkable crossover of symmetry `making and `breaking: while a broken $mathcal{PT}$ gets reinstated for an energy level, higher levels may couple to continue with symmetry breaking. Further, for a charged quantum particle a $mathcal{PT}$ symmetric electric field, furnished with a striped potential backdrop, also reveals peculiar retention and breakdown $mathcal{PT}$ scenarios. Depictions of prominent probability redistributions relating to various potential distributions both under norm-conserving unitary regime for hermitian Hamiltonians and non-conserving ones post $mathcal{PT}$ breakdown are presented.

Distant boundaries in linear non-Hermitian lattices can dramatically change energy eigenvalues and corresponding eigenstates in a nonlocal way. This effect is known as non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE). Combining non-Hermitian skin effect with nonline ar effects can give rise to a host of novel phenomenas, which may be used for nonlinear structure designs. Here we study nonlinear non-Hermitian skin effect and explore nonlocal and substantial effects of edges on stationary nonlinear solutions. We show that fractal and continuum bands arise in a long lattice governed by a nonreciprocal discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation. We show that stationary solutions are localized at the edge in the continuum band. We consider a non-Hermitian Ablowitz-Ladik model and show that nonlinear exceptional point disappears if the lattice is infinitely long.

Nonlinearities in lattices with topologically nontrivial band structures can give rise to topological solitons, whose properties differ from both conventional lattice solitons and linear topological boundary states. We show that a Su-Schrieffer-Heege r-type lattice with both nonlinearity and nonreciprocal non-Hermiticity hosts a novel oscillatory soliton, which we call a topological end breather. The end breather is strongly localized to a self-induced topological domain near the end of the lattice, in sharp contrast to the extended topological solitons previously found in one-dimensional lattices. Its stable oscillatory dynamics can be interpreted as a Rabi oscillation between two self-induced topological boundary states, emerging from a combination of chiral lattice symmetry and the non-Hermitian skin effect. This demonstrates that non-Hermitian effects can give rise to a wider variety of topological solitons than was previously known to exist.
