• Abstract: In this work, we explore interesting consequences arising from the coupling between a clean non-Hermitian chain with skin localization and a delocalized chain of the same length under various boundary conditions (BCs). We reveal that in the ladder with weak rung coupling, the nonHermitian skin localization could induce a pseudo mobility edge in the complex energy plane, which separates states with extended and localized profiles yet allowing unidirectional transport of signals. We also demonstrate the gradual takeover of the non-Hermitian skin effect in the entire system with the increase of the rung coupling under conventional open BC. When taking open BC for the nonHermitian chain and periodic BC for the other, it is discovered that a quantized winding number defined under periodic BC could characterize the transition from the pseudo mobility edge to the trivial extended phases, establishing a "bulk-defect correspondence" in our quasi-1D non-Hermitian system. This work hence unveils more subtle properties of non-Hermitian skin effects and sheds light on the topological nature of the non-Hermitian localized modes in the proximity to systems with dissimilar localization properties.

  We show that when the electric field is slowly modulated with time, new non-trivial phases with multiple mobility edges emerge in place of WS localized phase. For a large driving frequency, we retrieve the usual sharp delocalization-localization transition to the usual (no WS) localized phase. In addition, in the presence of the drive, the skin states are found to be multifractal, contrary to its usual nature in such non-Hermitian systems.

• Engineering skin effect across a junction of Hermitian and non-Hermitian lattice [0.0]
  We study a system where the two edges of a non-Hermitian lattice with asymmetric nearest-neighbor hopping are connected with two Hermitian lattices with symmetric nearest-neighbor hopping. In the absence of those Hermitian lattices, the majority of the eigenstates of the system will be localized at the edges. We show that once we connect it with the Hermitian lattices, for open boundary conditions (OBC), the localized states exist at the junction of the non-Hermitian and Hermitian lattices.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We study the damping dynamics of the single-particle correlation for an open system under periodic and aperiodic order. Due to the non-Hermitian skin effect, the damping dynamics is boundary sensitive. We propose a possible scheme with ultracold atoms in a dissipative momentum lattice to realize and detect the damping dynamics.

  We study an open Heisenberg XXZ spin chain with long-range Ising-type interaction. We find that the chain lengths for this transition are increasing with decreasing range of the Ising-type interactions between distant spins. The transition can be explained by the suppression of ferromagnetic domains at the edges of the chain.
