- Abstract: This work develops a full framework for non-Hermitian impurity physics in a
non-reciprocal lattice, with PBCs, OBCs and even their interpolations being
special cases across a whole range of boundary impurity strengths. As the
impurity strength is tuned, the localization of steady states can assume very
rich behavior, including the expected non-Hermitian skin effect, Bloch-like
states albeit broken translational invariance, and surprisingly, scale-free
accumulation along or even against the direction of non-reciprocity. We further
uncover the possibility of the co-existence of non-Hermitian skin effect and
scale-free localization, where qualitative aspects of the system's spectrum can
be extremely sensitive to impurity strength. We have also proposed specific
circuit setups for experimental detection of the scale-free accumulation, with
simulation results confirming our main findings.

Non-Hermitian systems have been discussed mostly in the context of open systems and nonequilibrium.
We show that, in the surface state of a topological insulator with spin-dependent relaxation due to magnetic impurities, highly nontrivial topological soliton spin textures appear in momentum space.
These results open a solid-state avenue to exotic spin patterns via spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, but also inspire non-Hermitian dissipation engineering of spins in solids.

We propose a new localization uncertainty estimation method called UAD for anchor-free object detection.
Our method captures the uncertainty in four directions of box offsets that are homogeneous, so that it can tell which direction is uncertain.
