- Abstract: Skin effect, where macroscopically many bulk states are aggregated towards
the system boundary, is one of the most important and distinguishing phenomena
in non-Hermitian quantum systems. We discuss a new aspect of this effect
whereby, despite its topological origin, applying magnetic field can largely
suppress it. Skin states are pushed back into the bulk and the skin topological
area, which we define, is sharply reduced. As seen from exact solutions of
representative models this is fundamentally rooted in the fact that the applied
magnetic field restores the validity of the low-energy description that is
rendered inapplicable in the presence of non-Bloch skin states. We further
study this phenomenon using rational gauge fluxes, which reveals a unique
irrelevance of the generalized Brillouin zone in the standard non-Bloch band
theory of non-Hermitian systems.

The non-Hermitian skin effect describes the concentration of an extensive number of eigenstates near the boundaries of certain dissipative systems.
Here we push the concept of skin effect into the fully incoherent regime and show that rather generally (but not universally) the non-Hermitian skin effect persists under dephasing dynamics.

doublon-holon excitations in non-reciprocal many-body systems [1.565361244756411]
Non-Hermitian skin effect, macroscopic collapse of bulk states to the boundary, has been extensively studied in various experimental platforms.
Previous studies have shown that the Pauli exclusion principle suppresses the skin effect.
We present a compelling counterexample by demonstrating the presence of the skin effect in doublon-holon excitations.

We show that the non-Hermitian skin effect is not a topological phenomenon in general.
When translation symmetry is broken by a single non-Hermitian impurity, skin modes are depleted at the boundary and accumulate at the impurity site.

We study the dynamics of a many-body state of free fermions in the paradigmatic Hatano-Nelson model with open boundaries.
We find that the area-law behavior of the entanglement entropy in the pristine Hatano-Nelson model develops into a logarithmic scaling for small disorder strength.

Non-Hermitian Systems [17.001487000146863]
We introduce the concept of dynamical degeneracy splitting to describe the anisotropic decay behaviors in non-Hermitian systems.
We demonstrate that systems with dynamical degeneracy splitting exhibit two distinctive features: (i) the system shows frequency-resolved non-Hermitian skin effect; (ii) Green's function exhibits anomalous at given frequency, leading to uneven broadening in spectral function and anomalous scattering.

We investigate the role of non-Hermiticity in the Chern insulating Haldane model on a dice lattice.
We introduce non-Hermiticity into this model in two ways -- through balanced non-Hermitian gain and loss, and by non-reciprocal hopping in one direction.
Our results place the dice-Haldane model as an exciting platform to explore non-Hermitian physics.

We also show that the skin effect leads to the purification and the reduction of von Neumann entropy even in Markovian open quantum systems.

We consider an avian-inspired quantum magnetic sensor composed of two radicals with a third "scavenger" radical under the influence of a collisional environment.
We show that basis-independent coherence, in which the initial system-environment state is non-maximally mixed, is necessary for optimal performance.
