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 …

Topological origin of non-Hermitian skin effects

N Okuma, K Kawabata, K Shiozaki, M Sato - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
A unique feature of non-Hermitian systems is the skin effect, which is the extreme sensitivity
to the boundary conditions. Here, we reveal that the skin effect originates from intrinsic non …

Non-Bloch band theory of non-Hermitian systems

K Yokomizo, S Murakami - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
In spatially periodic Hermitian systems, such as electronic systems in crystals, the band
structure is described by the band theory in terms of the Bloch wave functions, which …

Symmetry breaking and spectral structure of the interacting Hatano-Nelson model

SB Zhang, MM Denner, T Bzdušek, MA Sentef… - Physical review B, 2022 - APS
We study the Hatano-Nelson model, ie, a one-dimensional non-Hermitian chain of spinless
fermions with nearest-neighbor nonreciprocal hop**, in the presence of repulsive nearest …

Non-Hermitian skin effect and chiral dam** in open quantum systems

F Song, S Yao, Z Wang - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
One of the unique features of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians is the non-Hermitian skin effect,
namely, that the eigenstates are exponentially localized at the boundary of the system. For …

Symmetry and topology in non-Hermitian physics

K Kawabata, K Shiozaki, M Ueda, M Sato - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
Non-Hermiticity enriches topological phases beyond the existing Hermitian framework.
Whereas their unusual features with no Hermitian counterparts were extensively explored, a …

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

Non-Hermitian topological invariants in real space

F Song, S Yao, Z Wang - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
The topology of non-Hermitian systems is drastically shaped by the non-Hermitian skin
effect, which leads to the generalized bulk-boundary correspondence and non-Bloch band …
