摘要: Due to the nonunitary time evolution and possibly complex energy eigenvalues in non-Hermitian systems, it is still under debate how to properly deal with the dynamics of time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. Recently a quantum metric framework has been proposed to study the dynamics of generated defects of a non-Hermitian system under linear quench. Here, we provide an explicit expression for the endowed Hamiltonian under quantum metric for a general two-level non-Hermitian system. Then we propose two exactly solvable models for the study of nonadiabatic dynamics of non-Hermitian systems, and analyze the defect production using the metric method. We find that, in contrast to the direct normalization method, the metric method can reproduce the symmetry of generated defects. The power-law scaling of generated defects with respect to quench time is also obtained.
