Statistical mechanics for non-Hermitian quantum systems

We present a systematic study of statistical mechanics for non-Hermitian quantum systems. Our work reveals that the stability of a non-Hermitian system necessitates the existence of a single path-dependent conserved quantity, which, in conjunction with the system's Hamiltonian, dictates the equ...
