الوصف: | Despite its fully unitary dynamics, the bosonic Kitaev chain (BKC) displays key hallmarks of non-Hermitian physics including non-reciprocal transport and the non-Hermitian skin effect. Here we demonstrate another remarkable phenomena: the existence of an entanglement phase transition (EPT) in a variant of the BKC that occurs as a function of a Hamiltonian parameter g, and which coincides with a transition from a reciprocal to a non-reciprocal phase. As g is reduced below a critical value, the post-quench entanglement entropy of a subsystem of size l goes from a volume-law phase where it scales as l to a super-volume law phase where it scales like lN with N the total system size. This EPT occurs for a system undergoing purely unitary evolution and does not involve measurements, post-selection, disorder or dissipation. We derive analytically the entanglement entropy out of and at the critical point for the $l=1$ and $l/N \ll 1$ case. |
