• Title: Correlation-Induced Sensitivity and Non-Hermitian Skin Effect of Quasiparticles
• Authors: Tommaso Micallo, Carl Lehmann, Jan Carl Budich
• Abstract summary: Non-Hermitian (NH) Hamiltonians have been shown to exhibit unique signatures, including the NH skin effect and an exponential spectral sensitivity with respect to boundary conditions. Here, we investigate as to what extent these remarkable phenomena, recently predicted and observed in a broad range of settings, may also occur in closed correlated fermionic systems governed by a Hermitian many-body Hamiltonian.

• Abstract: Non-Hermitian (NH) Hamiltonians have been shown to exhibit unique signatures, including the NH skin effect and an exponential spectral sensitivity with respect to boundary conditions. Here, we investigate as to what extent these remarkable phenomena, recently predicted and observed in a broad range of settings, may also occur in closed correlated fermionic systems that are governed by a Hermitian many-body Hamiltonian. There, an effectively NH quasiparticle description naturally arises in the Green's function formalism due to inter-particle scattering that represents an inherent source of dissipation. As a concrete platform we construct an extended interacting Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model subject to varying boundary conditions, which we analyze using exact diagonalization and non-equilibrium Green's function methods. That way, we clearly identify the presence of the aforementioned NH phenomena in the quasi-particle properties of this Hermitian model system.

  We study subradiance in a Bose-Einstein condensate positioned at the mode crossing of two optical cavities. metastable density structures that suppress emission into one cavity mode prevent relaxation to the stationary, superradiant grating. We reproduce these dynamics by a quantum mean field model, suggesting that subradiance shares characteristics with quasi-stationary states predicted in other long-range interacting systems.

  We use recently developed graph-theoretical tools to design non-Hermitian systems with non-trivial boundary phenomena. We show that eigenstates can simultaneously localize on either ends of the systems, with different localization lengths. We also predict the existence of various topological edge states, pinned at non-zero energies, with different exponential envelopes, depending on their energy.

• Non-Hermitian skin effect and self-acceleration [0.0]
  Non-Hermitian systems exhibit nontrivial band topology and a strong sensitivity of the energy spectrum on the boundary conditions. A macroscopic number of bulk states get squeezed toward the lattice edges under open boundary conditions, an effect dubbed the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) Here we unravel a different dynamical signature of the NHSE in real space that manifests itself in the em early-time dynamics of the system, namely self-acceleration of the wave function.
