In the traditional quantum theory, one-dimensional quantum spin models possess a factorization surface where the ground states are fully separable having vanishing bipartite as well as multipartite entanglement. We report that in the non-Hermitian counterpart of these models, these factorization surfaces either can predict the exceptional points where the unbroken to the broken transition occurs or can guarantee the reality of the spectrum, thereby proposing a procedure to reveal the unbroken phase. We first analytically demonstrate it for the nearest-neighbor rotation-time RT-symmetric XY model with uniform and alternating transverse magnetic fields, referred to as the iATXY model. Exact diagonalization techniques are then employed to establish this fact for the RT-symmetric XYZ model with short- and long-range interactions as well as for the variable-ranged iATXY model. Moreover, we show that although the factorization surface prescribes the unbroken phase of the non-Hermitian model, the bipartite nearest-neighbor entanglement at the exceptional point is nonvanishing.

The chiral anomaly underlies a broad number of phenomena, from enhanced electronic transport in topological metals to anomalous currents in the quark-gluon plasma. The discovery of topological states of matter in non-Hermitian systems -- effective de scriptions of dissipative systems -- raises the question of whether there are anomalous conservation laws that remain unaccounted for. To answer this question, we consider both $1+1$ and $3+1$ dimensions, presenting a unified formulation to calculate anomalous responses in Hermitianized, anti-Hermitianized and non-Hermitian systems of massless electrons with complex Fermi velocities coupled to non-Hermitian gauge fields. Our results indicate that the quantum conservation laws of chiral currents of non-Hermitian systems are not related to those in Hermitianized and anti-Hermitianized systems, as would be expected classically, due to novel anomalous terms that we derive. These may have implications for a broad class of emerging experimental systems that realize non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.

Unlike a Chern number in $2$D and $3$D topological system, Zak phase takes a subtle role to characterize the topological phase in $1$D. On the one hand, it is not a gauge invariant, on the other hand, the Zak phase difference between two quantum phas es can be used to identify the topological phase transitions. A non-Hermitian system may inherit some characters of a Hermitian system, such as entirely real spectrum, unitary evolution, topological energy band, etc. In this paper, we study the influence of non-Hermitian term on the Zak phase for a class of non-Hermitian systems. We show exactly that the real part of the Zak phase remains unchanged in a bipartite lattice. In a concrete example, $1$D Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, we find that the real part of Zak phase can be obtained by an adiabatic process. To demonstrate this finding, we investigate a scattering problem for a time-dependent scattering center, which is a magnetic-flux-driven non-Hermitian SSH ring. Owing to the nature of the Zak phase, the intriguing features of this design are the wave-vector independence and allow two distinct behaviors, perfect transmission or confinement, depending on the timing of a flux impulse threading the ring. When the flux is added during a wavepacket travelling within the ring, the wavepacket is confined in the scatter partially. Otherwise, it exhibits perfect transmission through the scatter. Our finding extends the understanding and broaden the possible application of geometric phase in a non-Hermitian system.

Non-Hermitian topological phases bear a number of exotic properties, such as the non-Hermitian skin effect and the breakdown of conventional bulk-boundary correspondence. In this paper, we introduce an unsupervised machine learning approach to classi fy non-Hermitian topological phases based on diffusion maps, which are widely used in manifold learning. We find that the non-Hermitian skin effect will pose a notable obstacle, rendering the straightforward extension of unsupervised learning approaches to topological phases for Hermitian systems ineffective in clustering non-Hermitian topological phases. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations of two prototypical models, we show that this difficulty can be circumvented by choosing the on-site elements of the projective matrix as the input data. Our results provide a valuable guidance for future studies on learning non-Hermitian topological phases in an unsupervised fashion, both in theory and experiment.

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.
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 s ystems 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.
