Two-dimensional anisotropic non-Hermitian Lieb lattice

LC Xie, HC Wu, XZ Zhang, L Jin, Z Song - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
We study an anisotropic two-dimensional non-Hermitian Lieb lattice, where the staggered
gain and loss present in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. The intracell …

Power-law scaling of extreme dynamics near higher-order exceptional points

Q Zhong, DN Christodoulides, M Khajavikhan… - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
We investigate the extreme dynamics of non-Hermitian systems near higher-order
exceptional points in photonic networks constructed using the bosonic algebra method. We …

Non-Hermitian tight-binding network engineering

S Longhi - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
We suggest a simple method to engineer a tight-binding quantum network based on proper
coupling to an auxiliary non-Hermitian cluster. In particular, it is shown that effective complex …

Reciprocal and unidirectional scattering of parity-time symmetric structures

L Jin, XZ Zhang, G Zhang, Z Song - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
Parity-time symmetry is of great interest. The reciprocal and unidirectional features are
intriguing besides the symmetry phase transition. Recently, the reciprocal transmission …

Asymmetric transmission through a flux-controlled non-Hermitian scattering center

XQ Li, XZ Zhang, G Zhang, Z Song - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
We study the possibility of asymmetric transmission induced by a non-Hermitian scattering
center embedded in a one-dimensional waveguide, motivated by the aim of realizing …

Wave emission and absorption at spectral singularities

P Wang, L Jin, G Zhang, Z Song - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
We studied the critical dynamics of spectral singularities. The system investigated is a
coupled resonator array with a side-coupled loss (gain) resonator. For a gain resonator, the …

Coupling-induced nonunitary and unitary scattering in anti--symmetric non-Hermitian systems

HS Xu, L Jin - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
We investigate the properties of two anti-parity-time (anti-PT)-symmetric four-site scattering
centers. The anti-PT-symmetric scattering center may have imaginary couplings, real …

Non-Hermitian interferometer: Unidirectional amplification without distortion

C Li, L Jin, Z Song - Physical Review A, 2017 - APS
A non-Hermitian interferometer can realize asymmetric transmission in the presence of
imaginary potential and magnetic flux. Here, we propose a non-Hermitian dimer with an …

Long-range entangled zero-mode state in a non-Hermitian lattice

S Lin, XZ Zhang, C Li, Z Song - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
In contrast to a Hermitian system, in which zero modes are usually a degenerate and
localized edge state in the thermodynamic limit, the zero mode of a finite non-Hermitian …

Momentum-independent reflectionless transmission in the non-Hermitian time-reversal symmetric system

XZ Zhang, Z Song - Annals of Physics, 2013 - Elsevier
We theoretically study the non-Hermitian systems, the non-Hermiticity of which arises from
the unequal hopping amplitude (UHA) dimers. The distinguishing features of these models …
