Linked cluster expansions for non-Hermitian quantum spin systems — •Lea Lenke and Kai Phillip Schmidt — Chair for Theoretical Physics I, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany

In quantum mechanics, the standard axiom of Hermitian Hamiltonians can be replaced by the axiom of PT-symmetric Hamiltonians without automatically loosing the realness of the energy spectrum. The properties of PT-symmetric quantum mechanics is investigated by applying the formalism of linked cluster expansions to the exactly solvable Ising chain in a complex transverse magnetic field. In a next step the gained experience will be used to study topological phase transitions in Kitaev's toric code in a magnetic field.
