Luttinger liquid under non-Hermitian quantum sensing
摘要
The interplay between dissipation and interactions could give rise to exotic phenomena. In this work, we apply the non-Hermitian (NH) linear response theory to investigate the density response of a spinless Luttinger liquid under local NH perturbations. We show that NH backward scattering results in interference between correlation functions arising from dissipation and Langevin noise terms, leading to fluctuations in the induced density rate of change as the Luttinger parameter K varies. For odd integer values of K, this rate vanishes, indicating immunity to dissipation. We demonstrate that the steady-state induced density is predominantly determined by Langevin noise, underscoring the necessity of including Langevin noise terms in NH Hamiltonians. For attractive interactions, the response to NH perturbations grows exponentially and exhibits a
