Abstract

Complex potentials have been used previously to simulate dissipative processes in quantum simulations of transport and scattering. A general formulation is presented which shows how such non-Hermitian terms can lead to changes in the dynamics of transport operators, and to the decay of hydrodynamic quantities such as phase, energy, and momentum.
