Beyond Integrability Preserving Renormalization-Group Protocol in Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with Time-Dependent Interaction Strengths

Abstract:It is well established that in time-dependent quantum systems, integrability preserving time-dependent interaction strengths are identical to the renormalization group (RG) trajectories of the corresponding static model when time `$t$' in the driven model is identified with the logarithm of the cutoff `$\log\Lambda$' of the static model. We refer to this integrability preserving driving as the RG protocol. In this work we extend the class of time-dependent integrable models to include non-Hermitian quantum models with time-dependent interaction strengths. Using the recently formulated generalized Bethe ansatz framework [P. R. Pasnoori, Phys. Rev. B 112, L060409 (2025)], we show that the constraints imposed by integrability are more general: The interaction strengths of the static model that flow in the RG follow the respective RG trajectories in the corresponding time-dependent model as described above. In addition, the interaction strengths of the static model that are RG invariant can either be constant or have a specific time-dependence in the corresponding time-dependent model which is constrained by integrability. Thus we establish that in the context of time-dependent non-Hermitian systems, the set of integrability preserving time-dependent strengths is larger than the set corresponding to the RG protocol.
