Entanglement spectrum and entropy in topological non-Hermitian systems and nonunitary conformal field theory

Po-Yao Chang, Jhih-Shih You, Xueda Wen +1 more

This paper studies the entanglement properties of free-fermion systems without hermiticity. From the entanglement entropy scaling, the authors identify the non-unitary conformal field theory with c=-2 in a PT-symmetric non-Hermitian lattice system hosting topological phases. The entanglement spectrum also can detect the topological properties in the gapped phases, including the PT-symmetric Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model and the non-Hermitian Chern insulator.

Topological phases of extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger-Hubbard model

Pei-Jie Chang, Jinghui Pi, Muxi Zheng +4 more

Despite extensive studies on the one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger-Hubbard (SSHH) model, the variant incorporating second-nearest neighbor hopping remains largely unexplored. Here, the topological classification of the extended SSH model is analyzed within the framework of the BDI symmetry class, using the winding number as the corresponding topological invariant. We investigate the ground-state properties of this extended SSHH model using the constrained-path auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (CP-AFQMC) method. We show that this model exhibits rich topological phases, characterized by robust edge states against interaction. We quantify the properties of these edge states by analyzing spin correlation and second-order Rényi entanglement entropy. The system exhibits long-range spin correlation and near-zero Rényi entropy at half-filling. Besides, there is an anti-ferromagnetic order at quarter-filling. Interestingly, an external magnetic field disrupts this anti-ferromagnetic order, restoring long-range spin correlation and near-zero Rényi entropy. Furthermore, our work provides a paradigm for studying topological properties in large interacting systems via the CP-AFQMC algorithm.

Krylov complexity, mode-resolved complexity and entanglement entropy across phase transitions in the non-Hermitian extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model

Ling-Feng Zhang, Wing Chi Yu

We investigate phase transitions in the extended Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model with next-nearest-neighbor hoppings and an imaginary staggered chemical potential. In the presence of small non-Hermiticity, exceptional points emerge in pairs from the gap-closing momenta near the topological phase boundaries of the Hermitian limit. Utilizing the Krylov spread complexity and entanglement entropy, we analyze two dynamical protocols: (i) preparing the non-Hermitian ground state via a unitary transformation, and (ii) evolving the system under the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. We show that the spread complexity, and long-time spread complexity as well as entanglement entropy can effectively signal phase transitions in the first and second protocols, respectively. To unravel the detailed structure of the transitions, we introduce the momentum-resolved complexity that identifies the characteristic modes and tracks their evolution with the driving parameter. In the regime where the system possesses a purely imaginary spectrum, we further identify dynamical phases based on the saturation behavior of the spread complexity. The entanglement entropy is also found to exhibit similar saturation behavior, thereby providing a more experimentally accessible probe of the dynamical phases.
