Non-Hermitian Fermi-Dirac Distribution in Persistent Current Transport

This repository contains the code developed to accompany the Letter titled Non-Hermitian Fermi-Dirac Distribution in Persistent Current Transport [1].
Contents
SNS.ipynb: A phase-biased superconducting-normal-superconducting (SNS) junction.Ring.ipynb: A normal metallic ring threaded by a magnetic flux.NonHermitianFermiDiracPersistentCurrent.nb: Mathematica notebook (view online) for symbolic derivation of the non-Hermitian Fermi-Dirac distribution and relevant analytical calculations.
Usage
To run the Jupyter notebooks, ensure you have DMRGpy installed. Each notebook is self-contained and provides step-by-step computation leading to the ground state energy and persistent current as a function of the phase. The analysis focuses on the influence of many-body interactions on the persistent currents and scrutinizes the signatures of exceptional points within these systems.
For the Mathematica notebook, we demonstrate the symbolic derivation of our formalism, including: - Derivation and visualization of the non-Hermitian Fermi-Dirac distribution. - Continuity of the persistent current at exceptional points, as discussed in the blog titled Quantum many-body observables in equilibrium are continuous at exceptional points. - Analytical expressions and and numerical verifications for Green's function.
This notebook has been featured in the Wolfram Community in the editorial columns: Staff Picks and Publication Materials.

Please note that in the final published version of our Letter, there is a minor typo in the sentence located in the lower left corner of page 2: "For isolated and Hermitian systems $
\mathcal{H}_\mathrm{sys}$, the persistent current $I_\mathrm{iso}(\phi)$ n the many-body ground state with energy $E_0$ follows [56]," where the word n should be in.
