Non-Hermitian strongly interacting Dirac fermions: a quantum Monte-Carlo study

Abstract

Exotic quantum phases and phase transition in the strongly interacting Dirac systems has attracted tremendous interests. On the other hand, non-Hermitian physics, usually associated with dissipation arising from the coupling to environment, emerges as a frontier of modern physics in recent years. In this letter, we investigate the interplay between non-Hermitian physics and strong correlation in Dirac-fermion systems. We develop a sign-problem-free projector quantum Monte-Carlo (QMC) algorithm for the non-Hermitian interacting fermionic systems. Employing state-of-the-art projector QMC simulation, we decipher the ground-state phase diagram of the Honeycomb Hubbard model in the presence non-Hermitian asymmetric spin resolved hopping processes. Intriguingly, the antiferromagnetic ordering induced by Hubbard interaction is enhanced by the non-Hermitian asymmetric hopping. More remarkably, our study reveals that critical properties of the quantum phase transition between Dirac semi-metal and AF ordered phases are consistent with the XY universality class in Hermitian system, implying Hermiticity is emergent at the quantum critical point. The numerically-exact QMC approach utilized in this study is easily applied to other non-Hermitian interacting fermionic models, hence paving a new avenue to investigating quantum many-body physics in non-Hermitian systems.
