applications. Here we discover the gain-loss-induced hybrid second-order skin-topological …

Generalized bulk–boundary correspondence in non-Hermitian topolectrical circuits

T Helbig, T Hofmann, S Imhof, M Abdelghany… - Nature Physics, 2020 - nature.com
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 …

Exceptional topology of non-Hermitian systems

EJ Bergholtz, JC Budich, FK Kunst - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
The current understanding of the role of topology in non-Hermitian (NH) systems and its far-
reaching physical consequences observable in a range of dissipative settings are reviewed …

Observation of hybrid higher-order skin-topological effect in non-Hermitian topolectrical circuits

D Zou, T Chen, W He, J Bao, CH Lee, H Sun… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com

signatures with technological promise. Of late, much attention has focused on two distinct …

Topological metamaterials

X Ni, S Yves, A Krasnok, A Alu - Chemical Reviews, 2023 - ACS Publications
The topological properties of an object, associated with an integer called the topological
invariant, are global features that cannot change continuously but only through abrupt …

Non-reciprocal phase transitions

M Fruchart, R Hanai, PB Littlewood, V Vitelli - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Out of equilibrium, a lack of reciprocity is the rule rather than the exception. Non-reciprocity
occurs, for instance, in active matter,,,,–, non-equilibrium systems,–, networks of neurons …

Critical non-Hermitian skin effect

L Li, CH Lee, S Mu, J Gong - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
Critical systems represent physical boundaries between different phases of matter and have
