We investigated pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians and quantum phase transitions (QPT). The study reveals that level statistics change from Poisson to Wigner distributions, challenging prior assumptions about QPT precursors.
Area of Science:
- Quantum mechanics
- Non-Hermitian physics
- Statistical mechanics
Background:
- Pseudo-Hermitian operators are defined by similarity transformations to their adjoints.
- The Dicke model describes quantum phase transitions (QPT) and associated level statistics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the level statistics of a pseudo-Hermitian Dicke Hamiltonian undergoing QPT.
- To investigate the relationship between QPT and level statistics in this model.
Main Methods:
- Studied a pseudo-Hermitian Dicke Hamiltonian.
- Analyzed level-spacing distributions near integrable and nonintegrable limits.
- Compared results with Poisson and Wigner distributions.
Main Results:
- Level-spacing distribution approaches Poisson distribution near the integrable limit.
- Level-spacing distribution follows Wigner distribution in nonintegrable regimes.
- QPT is not always a precursor to changes in level statistics for pseudo-Hermitian systems.
Conclusions:
- The study clarifies level statistics behavior in pseudo-Hermitian Dicke models.
- Findings indicate that the link between QPT and level statistics is more complex than previously thought.
- This work contributes to understanding non-Hermitian quantum systems and their phase transitions.
