Non-Hermitian skin effect and chiral damping 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 …

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 …

Level statistics of extended states in random non-Hermitian Hamiltonians

C Wang, XR Wang - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
Absence of quasiparticle-level anticrossing in random non-Hermitian systems is
demonstrated. As a result, the general Wigner-Dyson distributions of energy-level spacing of …

Non-Hermitian band topology from momentum-dependent relaxation in two-dimensional metals with spiral magnetism

J Mitscherling, W Metzner - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
We study the emergence of non-Hermitian band topology in a two-dimensional metal with
planar spiral magnetism due to a momentum-dependent relaxation rate. A sufficiently strong …

Universal Hall conductance scaling in non-Hermitian Chern insulators

S Groenendijk, TL Schmidt, T Meng - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
We investigate the Hall conductance of a two-dimensional Chern insulator coupled to an
environment causing gain and loss. Introducing a biorthogonal linear response theory, we …

Supermetal-insulator transition in a non-Hermitian network model

H Liu, JS You, S Ryu, IC Fulga - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
We study a non-Hermitian and nonunitary version of the two-dimensional Chalker-
Coddington network model with balanced gain and loss. This model belongs to the class D† …
