Operator correlations in a quenched non-Hermitian Luttinger liquid

Abstract

We study operator correlations of a spinful Luttinger liquid after introducing a non-Hermitian interaction quench, yielding supersonic modes and dominant superconducting correlations as signatures of the non-unitary dynamics as well as spin-charge separation. A comparative analysis with the Hermitian counterpart, i.e, when the quench is Hermitian, shows a significant difference in the behavior of the model. We derive exact expressions for different operator correlations and show that the superconducting correlations decay slower than the charge and spin-density wave correlations, especially, within the short-time limit, and at the long-time limit all the operator correlations merge differed only by phase factors in the case of non-hermitian interaction quench whereas they do not merge in the case of Hermitian interaction quench. In both cases known Luttinger liquid universality is retained at the long time limit. We also analyze how the dynamics of operator correlations vary in the presence of anisotropy in the quenching parameters.
