Characterizing the Bulk-Boundary Correspondence of one-dimensional non-Hermitian interacting systems by edge entanglement entropy
2021
Dramatically different from the Hermitian systems, the conventional Bulk-Boundary Correspondence (BBC) is broken in the non-Hermitian systems. In this article, we use edge entanglement entropy to characterize the topological properties of interacting non-Hermitian systems. For free Fermions, we study the scaling behavior of entanglement entropy and demonstrate that the edge entanglement entropy is a good indicator to delimit different phases of non-Hermitian systems. We further generalize the edge entanglement entropy to the interacting non-Hermitian Hubbard chain, and obtain the topological phase diagram in the plane of interaction and non-Hermitian hopping amplitudes. It is found that the Hubbard interaction diminishes and weakens the breakdown of Bulk-Boundary Correspondence, which eventually disappears at some critical value of interaction.
