Scale-free localization in pseudo-Hermitian quantum walk
Haiting Zhang, Lei Xiao, Cui-Xian Guo +2
Scale-free localization is a distinctive phenomenon in non-Hermitian systems, where specific eigenstates, known as scale-free localized states (LSs), possess localization lengths t…
Non-Hermitian-enhanced quantum sensing in an optical interferometer
X. J. Huang, Lei Xiao, Bingzi Huo +2
The precision of quantum parameter estimation is traditionally constrained by the quantum Cramér-Rao bound, which is based on the Hermitian measurement framework. Recent studies of…
