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…

Wave-packet revival in a Floquet engineering quadratic potential system

J. Cao, H. Shen, R. Wang +1

We investigate the quantum dynamics of a one-dimensional tight-binding lattice driven by a spatially quadratic and time-periodic potential. Both Hermitian () and non-Her…

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…

Optomechanical transistor with mechanical gain

X. Z. Zhang, Lin Tian, Yong Li

We study an optomechanical transistor, where an input field can be transferred and amplified unidirectionally in a cyclic three-mode optomechanical system. In this system, the mech…

Topological phases in Kitaev chain with imbalanced pairing

C. Li, X. Z. Zhang, G. Zhang +1

We systematically study a Kitaev chain with imbalanced pair creation and annihilation, which is introduced by non-Hermitian pairing terms. Exact phase diagram shows that the topolo…

Optical unidirectional amplification in a three-mode optomechanical system

Yong Li, Y. Y. Huang, X. Z. Zhang +1

We study the directional amplification of an optical probe field in a three-mode optomechanical system, where the mechanical resonator interacts with two linearly-coupled optical c…

Long-range entangled zero-mode state in a non-Hermitian lattice

S. Lin, X. Z. Zhang, C. Li +1

In contrast to a Hermitian system, in which zero modes are usually degenerate and localized edge state in the thermodynamic limit, the zero mode of a finite non-Hermitian system ca…

Quench field sensitivity of two-particle correlation in a Hubbard model

X. Z. Zhang, S. Lin, Z. Song

Short-range interaction can give rise to particle pairing with a short-range correlation, which may be destroyed in the presence of an external field. We study the transition betwe…

Sudden death of particle-pair Bloch oscillation and unidirectional propagation in a one-dimensional driven optical lattice

S. Lin, X. Z. Zhang, Z. Song

We study the dynamics of bound pairs in the extended Hubbard model driven by a linear external field. It is shown that two interacting bosons or singlet fermions with nonzero on-si…

Amplitude control of a quantum state in a non-Hermitian Rice-Mele model driven by an external field

S. Lin, X. Z. Zhang, Z. Song

In the Hermitian regime, a Berry phase is always the real number. It may be imaginary for a non-Hermitian system, which leads to amplitude amplification or attenuation of an evolve…
