In contrast to classical systems, actual implementation of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian dynamics for quantum systems is a challenge because the processes of energy gain and dissipation are based on the underlying Hermitian system-environment dynamics, which are trace preserving. Recently, a scheme for engineering non-Hermitian Hamiltonians as a result of repetitive measurements on an ancillary qubit has been proposed. The induced conditional dynamics of the main system is described by the effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian arising from the procedure. In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of such a protocol by applying it to physically relevant multi-spin models, showing that the effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian drives the system to a maximally entangled stationary state. In addition, we report a new recipe to construct a physical scenario where the quantum dynamics of a physical system represented by a given non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model may be simulated. The physical implications and the broad scope potential applications of such a scheme are highlighted.

Series expansion of a scalable Hermitian excitonic renormalization method.
J Chem Phys

Department of Chemistry, University of the Pacific, Stockton, California 95204, USA.
Utilizing the sparsity of the electronic structure problem, fragmentation methods have been researched for decades with great success, pushing the limits of ab initio quantum chemistry ever further. Recently, this set of methods has been expanded to include a fundamentally different approach called excitonic renormalization, providing promising initial results. It builds a supersystem Hamiltonian in a second-quantized-like representation from transition-density tensors of isolated fragments, contracted with biorthogonalized molecular integrals.

Hamiltonian non-Hermicity: Accurate dynamics with the multiple Davydov D2Ansätze.
J Chem Phys

We examine the applicability of the numerically accurate method of time dependent variation with multiple Davydov Ansätze (mDA) to non-Hermitian systems. As illustrative examples, three systems of interest have been studied, a non-Hermitian system of dissipative Landau-Zener transitions, a non-Hermitian multimode Jaynes-Cummings model, and a dissipative Holstein-Tavis-Cummings model, all of which are shown to be effectively described by the mDA method. Our findings highlight the versatility of the mDA as a powerful numerical tool for investigating complex many-body non-Hermitian systems, which can be extended to explore diverse phenomena such as skin effects, excited-state dynamics, and spectral topology in the non-Hermitian field.

Article Synopsis
- Nonreciprocity in acoustics is essential for various applications, but current methods using nonlinear media and moving fluids often face challenges like bulk size, high power needs, and integration difficulties.
- The study introduces a framework that leverages asymmetric Peierls phases for designing nonreciprocal acoustic devices, controllable through active components, overcoming limitations of traditional approaches tied to Hermiticity.
- Findings include an equivalence between transmission phases in isolators and the Peierls phase, and reveal that unique behaviors in gyrators and circulators are influenced by these phases, offering insights for compact, effective nonreciprocal devices.
