Yang-Lee edge singularity and quantum criticality in non-Hermitian PXP model
arXiv:2510.13581 · doi:10.1103/vlfm-jfq5
Abstract
We present a comprehensive theoretical framework for quantum criticality in the non-Hermitian detuned PXP model, and establish the complete phase diagram, which had remained elusive in previous studies. Starting from a numerically identified phase transition point, we construct an exact second-order phase transition boundary through a similarity transformation in the real-energy regime. By introducing the biorthogonal entanglement entropy and biorthogonal Loschmidt echo, we demonstrate from both equilibrium and nonequilibrium perspectives that this transition belongs to the Ising universality class. Using the correlation function, we further distinguish between confined and deconfined phases within the -symmetric region. In the complex-energy regime, we identify both a full transition and a first-excited-state transition, respectively. Moreover, we identify the location of the Yang-Lee edge singularity (YLES) using both the associated-biorthogonal and self-normal Loschmidt echoes, and extract the corresponding critical exponent, which agrees with the predictions of non-unitary conformal field theory. Finally, we propose an experimental scheme to observe the YLES in Rydberg atomic arrays, which offers a promising route to exploring non-Hermitian critical phenomena and singularities in future experimental settings.
