Entanglement and Spin Squeezing in Non-Hermitian Phase Transitions

Abstract: We show that non-Hermitian dynamics generate substantial entanglement in many-body systems. We consider the non-Hermitian Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model and show that its phase transition occurs with maximum multiparticle entanglement: There is full N-particle entanglement at the transition, in contrast to the Hermitian case. The non-Hermitian model also exhibits more spin squeezing than the Hermitian model, showing that non-Hermitian dynamics are useful for quantum metrology. Experimental implementations with tra… Show more

“…A recent study [31] reports the surprising finding that the non-Hermitian TACT model can realize slightly stronger SS than its Hermitian counterpart, which is counter intuitive as damping is always viewed as causing damage to quantum coherent processes like SS. Inspired by the desire for a better understanding of SS in nonHermitian models, we carried out this investigation of the non-Hermitian OAT model.…”

“…It seems that the non hermiticity is needed. Futur works must be dedicated to find a more realistic model exhibiting quantum chimera states, but we can imagine experimental realizations of some quantum chimera models with trapped ions and cavity QED, since these situations can be modelled by non-hermitian effective Hamiltonians as in [20,21]. Unfortunately, in these cases the effective Hamiltonian is valid only between two quantum jumps.…”

“…We say that H is quasi-hermitian 1 . H can be viewed as the effective Hamiltonian of a long range coupling Heisenberg spin chain in contact with an environment (examples of non-hermitian effective Hamiltonians can be found in [20,21]). …”
