- Abstract: We study the time evolution processes of non-Hermitian systems under the open
boundary condition and confirm that the dynamical skin effect exists in
non-Hermitian systems analytically, and unveil the mechanism of its formation,
which is caused by both the non-Hermitian skin effect and the Hermitian wave
packet spreading. Furthermore, we find that in contrast to the uniform speed
motion in Hermitian situations, the Gaussian wave packet can be accelerated and
amplified during its time evolution in non-Hermitian systems. This additional
motion is found to be responsible for the dynamic skin effect.

We study a one-dimensional non-Hermitian system with glide-time reversal (GT) symmetry.
We discover that the GT symmetry leads to unique physical properties and enables rich dynamic phenomena in non-Hermitian systems.
Remarkably, we reveal the dynamic NHSEs that exhibit diverse behaviors across distinct dynamic phases.

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.

Non-Hermitian skin effects are well-established for single-particle systems, but their proper characterization for general systems is elusive.
We propose a general criterion of non-Hermitian skin effects, which works for any finite-dimensional system evolved by a linear operator.
Applying the criterion, we discover a new type of non-Hermitian skin effect in many-body systems, which we dub the Fock space skin effect.

We realize the Floquet NHSE in periodically modulated optical waveguides integrated on a silicon photonics platform.
Remarkably, we discover the transitions between the normal unipolar NHSEs and an unconventional bipolar NHSE.
Our work unfolds a new route toward Floquet NHSEs originating from the interplay between gauge fields and dissipation effects.

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.

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.
