This article reviews recent developments in the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE),
particularly on its rich interplay with topology. The review starts off with a pedagogical …

Topological acoustics is an emerging field that lies at the intersection of condensed matter
physics, mechanical structural design and acoustics engineering. It explores the design and …

Non-Hermitian theory is a theoretical framework used to describe open systems. It offers a
powerful tool in the characterization of both the intrinsic degrees of freedom of a system and …

The past decades have witnessed the flourishing of non-Hermitian physics in non-
conservative systems, leading to unprecedented phenomena of unidirectional invisibility …

Non-Hermitian optics is a burgeoning field at the intersection of quantum physics,
electrodynamics, and nanophotonics. It provides a new perspective of the role of gain and …

Topological modes (TMs) are usually localized at defects or boundaries of a much larger
topological lattice,. Recent studies of non-Hermitian band theories unveiled the non …

Exceptional points and skin effect, as the two distinct hallmark features unique to the non-
Hermitian physics, have each attracted enormous interests. Recent theoretical works reveal …

Recently, exceptional points, a degeneracy of open wave systems, have been observed in
photonics, acoustics, and electronics. They have mainly been realized as a degeneracy of …

Topological features embedded in ancient braiding and knotting arts endow significant
impacts on our daily life and even cutting-edge science. Recently, fast growing efforts are …

Beyond the scope of Hermitian physics, non-Hermiticity fundamentally changes the
topological band theory, leading to interesting phenomena, eg, non-Hermitian skin effect, as …
