Remote Flux Refocuses Nonadiabatic Excursions in Compact-State Quantum Transfer

X. S. Meng, Y. S. Liu, X. Z. Zhang

Compact states embedded in a propagating band can carry quantum information, but finite-time transfer can populate modes outside their subspace. We show that a remote flux can refo…

Coherence-Mediated Boundary Control of the Liouvillian Gap in Nonreciprocal Open Quantum Systems

K. L. Li, M. H. Yu, X. Z. Zhang

We study a single-particle Lindblad lattice in which nonreciprocal incoherent hopping is combined with a tunable coherent boundary link. The link changes the Hamiltonian boundary c…

Microscopic resonant-shell mechanism for slow Liouvillian sectors in an open correlated lattice

X. Z. Zhang

We develop a microscopic theory for how slow Liouvillian sectors are selected in an open correlated lattice. The starting point is not a postulated non-Hermitian band, but a local…

Magnetization in a non-equilibrium quantum spin system

X. Z. Zhang

The dynamics described by the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian typically capture the short-term behavior of open quantum systems before quantum jumps occur. In contrast, the long-term dyn…

Emerging topological characterization in non-equilibrium states of quenched Kitaev chains

Y. B. Shi, X. Z. Zhang, Z. Song

Topological characteristics of quantum systems are typically determined by the closing of a gap, while the dynamical quantum phase transition (DQPT) during quantum real-time evolut…

Steady off-diagonal long-range order state in a half-filled dimerized Hubbard chain induced by a resonant pulsed field

X. Z. Zhang, Z. Song

We show that a resonant pulsed field can induce a steady superconducting state even in the deep Mott insulating phase of the dimerized Hubbard model. The superconductivity found he…

Insulating-to-conducting state transition in the bilayer Hubbard model induced by a perpendicular quench field

X. Z. Zhang, Z. Song

A many-body quantum system with varying parameters can exhibit two distinct quantum states within the same energy shell. This allows for a dynamic transition from the ground state…
