• Title: Dynamical Degeneracy Splitting and Directional Invisibility in Non-Hermitian Systems
• Authors: Kai Zhang, Chen Fang, Zhesen Yang
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: In this paper, 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. As an application, we propose directional invisibility based on wave packet dynamics to investigate the geometry-dependent skin effect in higher dimensions. Our work elucidates a faithful correspondence between non-Hermitian skin effect and Green's function, offering a guiding principle for exploration of novel physical phenomena emerging from this effect.

• Topological transitions in quantum jump dynamics: Hidden exceptional points [45.58759752275849]
  Phenomena associated with exceptional points (EPs) have been extensively studied in relation to superconducting circuits. We consider a monitored three level system and find multiple EPs in the Lindbladian eigenvalues considered as functions of a counting field. We identify dynamical observables affected by these transitions and demonstrate how the underlying topology can be recovered from experimentally measured quantum jump distributions.

  We study the linear response of disordered non-Hermitian systems, which is precisely described by the Green's function. We find that the average maximum value of matrix elements of Green's functions, which quantifies the maximum response against an external perturbation, exhibits different phases characterized by different scaling behaviors. Our work highlights an unexpected interplay between non-Hermitian skin effect and Anderson localization.

• Incoherent non-Hermitian skin effect in photonic quantum walks [0.0]
  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.

• Geometry-dependent skin effect and anisotropic Bloch oscillations in a non-Hermitian optical lattice [5.593595192885069]
  geometry-dependent skin effect (GDSE) refers to that the localization of extensive eigenstates depends on the system's geometry under open boundary conditions. In this paper, we demonstrate the emergence of GDSE in a two-dimensional $sp$ optical ladder lattice with on-site atom loss. Our results reveal that the GDSE has an intrinsic anisotropic bulk dynamics independent of boundary conditions, and offer its realization and detection in quantum systems.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.
