The study of the laws of nature has traditionally been pursued in the limit of isolated systems, where energy is conserved. This is not always a valid approximation, however, as the inclusion of features like gain and loss, or periodic driving, qualitatively amends these laws. A contemporary frontier of meta-material research is the challenge open systems pose to the established characterization of topological matter1, 2. There, one of the most relied upon principles is the bulk-boundary…

Non-Hermitian bulk–boundary correspondence in quantum dynamics

Bulk–boundary correspondence, a guiding principle in topological matter, relates robust edge states to bulk topological invariants. Its validity, however, has so far been established only in closed…

Bulk-edge correspondence of classical diffusion phenomena

It is elucidate that diffusive systems, which are widely found in nature, can be a new platform of the bulk-edge correspondence, a representative topological phenomenon, and demonstrates the emergence of robust edge states protected by the winding number for one- and two-dimensional systems.

Topological funneling of light

Using a time-dependent photonic lattice in which the topological properties can be controlled, Weidemann et al. show that such a structure can efficiently funnel light to the interface irrespective of the point of incidence on the lattice.

Many-body topological and skin states without open boundaries

Robust boundary states have been the focus of much recent research, both as topologically protected states and as non-Hermitian skin states. In this work, we show that many-body effects can also…

Non-Hermitian Disorder-induced Topological insulators

Recent studies of disorder or non-Hermiticity induced topological insulators inject new ingredients for engineering topological matter. Here we consider the effect of purely non-Hermitian disorders,…

Quenched topological boundary modes can persist in a trivial system

Topological boundary modes can occur at the spatial interface between a topological and gapped trivial phase and exhibit a wavefunction that exponentially decays in the gap. Here we argue that this…

Berry connection induced anomalous drift velocity in non-Hermitian systems

Berry phases strongly affect the properties of crystalline materials, giving rise to modifications of the semiclassical equations of motion that govern wave-packet dynamics. In non-Hermitian systems,…

Dissipative analog of four-dimensional quantum Hall physics

Four-dimensional quantum Hall (QH) models usually rely on synthetic dimensions for their simulation in experiment. Here, we study a QH system which features a nontrivial configuration of…

The Quantum Skin Hall Effect

The skin effect, which is unique to non-Hermitian systems, can generate an extensive number of eigenstates localized near the boundary in an open geometry. Here we propose that in 2D and 3D other…

Nonreciprocal Transport of Exciton Polaritons in a Non-Hermitian Chain.

This work considers exciton polaritons in a zigzag chain of coupled elliptical micropillars subjected to incoherent excitation and shows one-way information transfer, paving the way for compact and robust feedback-free one-dimensional polariton transmission channels without the need for external magnetic field.

A complete electronic band theory is proposed, which builds on the conventional band theory of electrons, highlighting the link between the topology and local chemical bonding and can be used to predict many more topological insulators.

The proposed topolectrical Chern circuit features an admittance bulk gap fully tunable via the resistors used in the INICs, along with a chiral voltage boundary mode reminiscent of the Berry flux monopole present in the admittance band structure.

Exceptional points in optics and photonics

The topic of exceptional points in photonics is reviewed and some of the possible exotic behavior that might be expected from engineering such systems are explored, as well as new angle of utilizing gain and loss as new degrees of freedom, in stark contrast with the traditional approach of avoiding these elements.

NON-HERMITIAN LOCALIZATION AND POPULATION BIOLOGY

This work proposes a delocalization transition for the steady state of the nonlinear problem at a critical convection threshold separating localized and extended states, and describes singular scaling behavior described by a $(d\ensuremath{-}1)$-dimensional generalization of the noisy Burgers' equation.

Localization Transitions in Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics.

The theory predicts that, close to the depinning transition, the transverse Meissner effect is accompanied by stretched exponential relaxation of the field into the bulk and a diverging penetration depth.
