- Abstract: I show that a single embedded non-Hermitian defect in a one-dimensional
topological system at certain degrees of non-Hermiticity can remove the
topological mode from the edge and restore it inside the lattice at the same
place where the non-Hermitian defect is placed. I relate this unexpected
phenomenon to the wave matching condition and continuity of the wave function
at different sites in the lattice. These findings pave the way for controlling
the position of topological states at will.
