| Abstract: | We first review the localization-delocalization transition of a non-Hermitian random tight-binding Anderson model, called the Hatano-Nelson model. We then report a new result for a non-Hermitian extension of a discrete-time quantum walk on a one-dimensional random medium; we numerically find a delocalization transition similar to one of the Hatano-Nelson model. As a common feature to both models, at the transition point, an eigenvector gets delocalized and at the same time the corresponding energy eigenvalue (for the latter quantum-walk model, the imaginary unit times the phase of the eigenvalue of the time-evolution operator) becomes complex. One of the unique properties of the present non-Hermitian quantum walk is that the localization length of all eigenvectors is the same, and thereby all eigenstates simultaneously undergo the delocalization transition and all energy eigenvalues become complex at the same time when we turn up a non-Hermitian parameter. |
