[LIVE LOG]
LOG #048 // BIORTHOGONAL SPECTRAL STABILITY IN NON-HERMITIAN EVOLUTIONS
DATE: 2026-03-02 • MASSEY LAB

Under non-Hermitian Hamiltonians ($H \neq H^\dagger$), left and right eigenvectors cease to be mutually orthogonal. Standard inner products $\langle \psi | \psi \rangle$ blow up exponentially near exceptional points (EPs). Stable expectation values require strict biorthogonal normalization:

$$\langle \tilde{\psi}_n^L | \psi_m^R \rangle = \delta_{nm}, \qquad \langle O(t) \rangle = \frac{\langle \psi_L(t) | O | \psi_R(t) \rangle}{\langle \psi_L(t) | \psi_R(t) \rangle}$$
Verification: Validated in FermiHubbard1D.jl with Hatano-Nelson non-reciprocal boundary conditions.
LOG #047 // KRYLOV SUBSPACE DIMENSION TRUNCATION UNDER NON-UNITARY PROPAGATORS
DATE: 2026-01-18 • MASSEY LAB

When approximating $e^{-i H \Delta t} v$ via Krylov subspace $\mathcal{K}_m(H, v) = \text{span}\{v, Hv, \dots, H^{m-1}v\}$, loss of numerical orthogonality during Arnoldi iterations grows rapidly when $\text{Im}(\lambda_k) \neq 0$. Standard single-pass Gram-Schmidt fails at $m > 35$. Implemented two-pass modified Gram-Schmidt with dynamic re-orthogonalization threshold $\tau = 10^{-12}$.

Result: Truncation error reduced by 4 orders of magnitude in dissipative Lindbladian quench simulations.
LOG #046 // COMMUTATOR ERROR BOUNDS IN HIGHER-ORDER SUZUKI-TROTTER EVOLUTION
DATE: 2025-11-09 • MASSEY LAB

Decomposing $H = A + B$ in digital quantum simulation introduces operator splitting error. For second-order symmetric Trotterization $S_2(\Delta t) = e^{\frac{\Delta t}{2} A} e^{\Delta t B} e^{\frac{\Delta t}{2} A}$:

$$\|e^{(A+B)\Delta t} - S_2(\Delta t)\| \le \frac{\Delta t^3}{24} \left( \|[A, [A, B]]\| + 2\|[B, [A, B]]\| \right) + \mathcal{O}(\Delta t^4)$$
Insight: For 1D nearest-neighbor chains, interleaving odd and even bond operators bounds error independently of system length $L$.

[SYSTEMATIC STUDY]
Bose-Einstein Condensation in Dilute Gases • C. J. Pethick & H. Smith
COMPLETE ANNOTATION

Marginalia: The treatment of low-velocity solitonic excitations in Section 11 illustrates why quasi-1D geometry modifies the s-wave scattering length into an effective $g_{1D} = 2\hbar\omega_\perp a_s / (1 - C a_s / a_\perp)$. Crucial for calibrating our numerical soliton speeds in optical waveguides.

Quantum Phase Transitions • Subir Sachdev
COMPLETE ANNOTATION

Marginalia: The mapping between the 1D transverse field Ising model and free fermions via the Jordan-Wigner transformation serves as the analytical touchstone for verifying boundary skin modes in non-Hermitian extensions of the Fermi-Hubbard chain.

The Density-Matrix Renormalization Group in the Age of Matrix Product States • Ulrich Schollwöck
ACTIVE REFERENCE

Marginalia: Canonical forms (left/right normalized tensors) clarify why singular value decomposition (SVD) guarantees optimal truncation of Schmidt ranks in 1D. Time-evolving block decimation (TEBD) error scales directly with entanglement entropy growth $S(t) \sim t$.

Quantum Computation and Quantum Information • Michael A. Nielsen & Isaac L. Chuang
REFERENCE

Marginalia: Chapter 4 and 8: The Kraus representation of open quantum systems $\rho(t) = \sum_k E_k \rho(0) E_k^\dagger$ directly guides the derivation of non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonians $H_{\text{eff}} = H - \frac{i}{2} \sum_k L_k^\dagger L_k$ conditioned on null measurement records.
