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…

Experimental Observation of Dynamical Phase Transitions in a Dephased Photonic Quantum Walk

Xiaojian Huang, Lei Xiao, Bingzi Huo +3

Dynamical phase transitions in open quantum systems govern how non-equilibrium states relax toward a stationary state. We study these transitions experimentally using a discrete-ti…
