Abstract

We investigate the ground-state properties and quantum critical behavior of a non-Hermitian transverse-field Ising chain subjected to longitudinal and complex transverse magnetic fields. To address this interacting many-body problem, we employ real-valued neural quantum states based on Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs), optimized using Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) sampling. Spectral analysis of finite chains reveals exceptional points associated with spontaneous parity-time (PT) symmetry breaking. A real-valued RBM framework is developed to reconstruct the ground-state eigenstates of the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. Benchmark comparisons with exact diagonalization demonstrate that the RBM approach accurately reproduces the ground-state energy, magnetization, and spin-spin correlations. Extending the analysis to larger system sizes, we identify a non-Hermitian quantum phase transition characterized by PT-symmetry breaking and the emergence of magnetic order. Our results establish real-valued neural quantum states as an efficient and scalable framework for investigating critical phenomena in interacting non-Hermitian quantum systems.

Scaling vs entanglement in measurement-induced phase transition for non-integrable systems

We find that the measurement-induced phase transition generated by deterministic global measurements, previously observed in the integrable transverse-field Ising model (TFIM), persists in non-integrable variants of the same. To address this question, we consider the TFIM with longitudinal field and the axial next-near...

Theory of post-selected entanglement transitions in monitored bosons

Entanglement phase transitions driven by quantum measurements have emerged as a central paradigm in open quantum many-body physics. Such phase transitions are well established for systems with finite local Hilbert-space dimensions, such as qubits and fermions, while their realization in bosonic systems with unbounded l...

Avoided crossings in spin-boson systems: consequences for adiabatic state preparation

Avoided crossings in the correlated many-body spectrum play a central role in determining the conditions for adiabatic state preparation in interacting quantum systems. We investigate this connection in finite spin-boson systems by combining exact diagonalization of the many-body spectrum with time-dependent simulation...

Gouy Phase across PT-Symmetry Breaking in Non-Hermitian Dirac Systems

We study relativistic beam-like wave packets governed by a quasi-Hermitian massive Dirac Hamiltonian and uncover anomalous Gouy-phase behavior in non-Hermitian dynamics. We show that the Gouy phase provides a sensitive probe of the global $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry-breaking threshold: it remains purely real in the globall...

Engineering of Non-Hermitian Trajectories and Phase Structure in an Open Bose-Hubbard Model via Rate Operator Transformations

Non-Hermitian evolution can be realized through post-selection on stochastic pure-state trajectories arising in continuously monitored open quantum systems. The rate operator formalism provides a versatile and systematic framework for unraveling a master equation into stochastic pure-state evolutions, offering enhanced...

Universal Bound and Phase Transition in Many-Body Fermionic Non-Gaussianity

Fermionic non-Gaussianity is a resource for universal quantum computation that can be generated by interactions in quantum many-body systems. Using the magic R\'enyi entropy (MRE) as a measure of non-Gaussianity, we derive its universal upper bound and Haar mean, proving that typical Haar-random states attain the maxim...
