NUMERICAL CALCULATION OF THE COMPLEX BERRY PHASE IN NON-HERMITIAN SYSTEMS

We numerically investigate topological phases of periodic lattice systems in tight-binding description under the influence of dissipation. The effects of dissipation are effectively described by <em>PT</em>-symmetric potentials. In this framework we develop a general numerical gauge smoo...
