• Abstract: Non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) describes the exponential localization of all eigenstates toward boundaries in non-Hermitian systems, and has attracted intense research interest of late. Here we theoretically propose a scheme in which the NHSE significantly impacts the external motion of a single trapped ion through complex spin-motion dynamics. On the one hand, we show the competition between the NHSE and the coherent Bloch dynamics. On the other hand, since the NHSE manifests as a non-reciprocal flow in occupied phonon modes, we demonstrate that such dynamics can have potential applications in cooling and sensing. Our proposal can be readily implemented using existing experimental techniques, and offers a scalable (in terms of the available ions and phonon modes) simulation platform for relevant non-Hermitian physics.

• Direction reversal of non-Hermitian skin effect via coherent coupling [0.0]
  Absolute negative mobility (ANM) in nonequilibrium systems depicts the possibility of particles propagating toward the opposite direction of an external force. We uncover in this work a phenomenon analogous to ANM regarding eigenstate localization and particle transport in non-Hermitian systems under the influence of the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) A coherent coupling between two non-Hermitian chains individually possessing the same preferred direction of NHSE is shown to cause a direction reversal of NHSE for all eigenmodes.
