Equilibrium and nonequlibrium scaling behaviors of localization transition in a non-Hermitian Aubry-André model with onsite gain and loss

The interplay between non-Hermiticity and localization has attracted considerable interest, yet the driven dynamics of localization transitions in non-Hermitian systems with on-site gain and loss remains largely unexplored. Here we investigate the critical scaling behavior and driven dynamics of the non-Hermitian Aubry-André (AA) model with on-site gain and loss. Through finite-size scaling analyses of the localization length, the inverse participation ratio (IPR), and the energy gap, we extract the critical exponents $ν= 1.00(2)$, $s = 0.7965(2)$, and $z = 1.999(2)$. These exponents are different from those of both the Hermitian AA model and the nonreciprocal hopping AA model, particularly the IPR exponent $s$, demonstrating that the gain-loss mechanism belongs to a distinct universality class. For the driven dynamics, we focus on the case where the system is initially prepared in a gapless extended state and linearly driven across the critical point. We verify that the finite-time scaling (FTS) framework remains applicable provided that the criterion $z' < r$ is satisfied, where $z' = 1.999(2)$ characterizes the gap closure in the extended phase and $r = z + 1/ν\approx 2.999$. The predicted FTS scaling forms for the IPR are numerically validated across a wide range of system sizes and driving rates, demonstrating that the unified scaling description can be successfully generalized to the gain-loss type non-Hermitian AA model. Our work not only establishes the gain-loss AA model as a new universality class of localization transitions but also extends the applicability of the FTS framework to non-Hermitian systems with gapless initial states.

Driven dynamics of localization phase transition in the Aubry-André model with initial gapless extended states

Recently, the driven dynamics of localization phase transitions have garnered growing interest. However, studies so far have mainly considered initial localized states, whose driven dynamics follow the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM). In this study, we investigate the driven dynamics of the localization phase transition in the Aubry-André (AA) model starting from a gapless extended state, which violates the adiabatic-impulse scenario of KZM. By linearly driving the quasiperiodic potential strength across the critical point, we numerically simulate the driven dynamics and analyze the scaling behavior of both the inverse participation ratio ($\mathcal{I}$) and the dynamic deviation from the instantaneous ground state energy $(\mathcal{D})$. We demonstrate that the driven dynamics starting from initially extended states satisfies the criterion for the applicability of KZM and its extension, finite-time scaling (FTS). The scaling functions governing the driven dynamics of both $\mathcal{I}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ have been derived based on FTS and numerically validated. We found that the scaling functions exhibit significant differences at large $R$ and small $R$, and also differ considerably from the scaling functions when the initial state is localized, highlighting the crucial role of initial state behavior. The established scaling laws remain robust across a wide range of system sizes and driving rates, providing testable predictions for experimental realizations.

Non-equilibrium dynamics of localization phase transition in the non-Hermitian Disorder-Aubry-André model

The driven dynamics of localization transitions in a non-Hermitian Disordered Aubry-André (DAA) model are examined under both open boundary conditions (OBC) and periodic boundary conditions (PBC). Through an analysis of the static properties of observables, including the localization length ($ξ$), inverse participation ratio ($\rm IPR$), and energy gap ($ΔE$), we found that the critical exponents examined under PBC are also applicable under OBC. The Kibble-Zurek scaling (KZS) for the driven dynamics in the non-Hermitian DAA systems is formulated and numerically verified for different local-to-local quench directions. The hybrid KZS (HKZS) in the overlapping critical region of non-Hermitian DAA and Anderson localization is proposed and numerically confirmed the validity across a local-to-skin quench direction. This study generalizes the application of the KZS to the dynamical localization transitions within systems featuring dual localization mechanisms.

Hybrid scaling mechanism of critical behavior in the overlapping critical regions of classical and quantum Yang-Lee edge singularities

Recently, the study of scaling behavior in Yang-Lee edge singularities (YLES) has attracted sustained attention. However, the scaling mechanism for the overlapping critical region between classical and quantum YLES remains unclear. In this work, we investigate this question, and a hybrid scaling mechanism is introduced to characterize the scaling behavior in the overlapping regions. The hybrid scaling mechanism asserts that in the overlapping region the scaling behavior can be described by the scaling function for both critical regions simultaneously, and it results in a constraint on the scaling functions. The transverse Ising chain in an imaginary longitudinal field, which exhibits $(0+1)$ dimensional (D) and $(1+1)$ D quantum YLES phase transitions at zero temperature, and $(0+0)$ D and $(1+0)$ D classical YLES phase transitions at finite temperature, is employed as a model to test this hybrid scaling mechanism. The scaling functions in the critical regions of $(0+1)$ D and $(1+1)$ D quantum YLES as well as $(0+0)$ D and $(1+0)$ D classical YLES of such model are systematically investigated. Furthermore, the hybrid scaling mechanisms in overlapping critical regions, particularly between classical and quantum YLES, are thoroughly examined. Through this study, we have established a scaling mechanism capable of describing behaviors in the overlapping critical regions between classical and quantum phase transitions, which also facilitates the extraction of quantum phase transition information from classical phase transition systems.

Hybrid scaling properties of localization transition in a non-Hermitian disorder Aubry-André model

In this paper, we study the critical behaviors in the non-Hermitian disorder Aubry-André (DAA) model, and we assume the non-Hermiticity is introduced by nonreciprocal hopping. We employ the localization length $ξ$, the inverse participation ratio ($\rm IPR$), and the energy gap $ΔE$ as the characteristic quantities to describe the critical properties of the localization transition. By performing scaling analysis, the critical exponents of the non-Hermitian Anderson model and the non-Hermitian DAA model are obtained, and these critical exponents are different from their Hermitian counterparts, indicating that the Hermitian and non-Hermitian Anderson and DAA models belong to different universality classes. The critical exponents of the non-Hermitian DAA model are remarkably different from both the pure non-Hermitian AA model and the non-Hermitian Anderson model, showing that disorder is an independent relevant direction at the non-Hermitian AA model critical point. We further propose a hybrid scaling law to describe the critical behavior in the overlapping critical region constituted by the critical regions of the non-Hermitian DAA model and the non-Hermitian Anderson localization.
