Abstract

Geometric phase is an important tool to define the topology of the Hermitian and non-Hermitian systems. Besides, the range of coupling plays an important role in realizing higher topological indices and transition among them. With a motivation to understand the geometric phases for mixed states, we discuss finite temperature analysis of Hermitian and non-Hermitian topological models with extended range of couplings. To understand the geometric phases for the mixed states, we use Uhlmann phase and discuss the merit-limitation with respect extended range couplings. We extend the finite temperature analysis to non-Hermitian models and define topological invariant for different ranges of coupling. We include the non-Hermitian skin effect, and provide the derivation of topological invariant in the generalized Brillouin zone and their mixed state behavior also. We also adopt mixed geometric phases through interferometric approach, and discuss the geometric phases of extended-range (Hermitian and non-Hermitian) models at finite temperature.
