• Title: Engineering skin effect across a junction of Hermitian and non-Hermitian lattice
• Authors: Ranjan Modak
• Abstract summary: We study a system where the two edges of a non-Hermitian lattice with asymmetric nearest-neighbor hopping are connected with two Hermitian lattices with symmetric nearest-neighbor hopping. In the absence of those Hermitian lattices, the majority of the eigenstates of the system will be localized at the edges. We show that once we connect it with the Hermitian lattices, for open boundary conditions (OBC), the localized states exist at the junction of the non-Hermitian and Hermitian lattices.

• Abstract: We study a system where the two edges of a non-Hermitian lattice with asymmetric nearest-neighbor hopping are connected with two Hermitian lattices with symmetric nearest-neighbor hopping. In the absence of those Hermitian lattices, the majority of the eigenstates of the system will be localized at the edges, the phenomena known as the non-Hermitian skin effect. We show that once we connect it with the Hermitian lattices, for open boundary conditions (OBC), the localized states exist at the junction of the non-Hermitian and Hermitian lattice; moreover, the spectrum shows mobility edges that separate delocalized and localized states. On the contrary, mobility edges vanish for periodic boundary conditions (PBC), and the delocalized phase turns into a scale-invariant localized phase, where the localized states are still peaked at the junctions. We also find that if the connected Hermitian lattices are thermodynamically large, in OBC, most of the states become delocalized, while in PBC, the system still shows the scale-invariant localized phase.

  We show topologically ordered states in the complex-valued spectra of non-Hermitian systems. These arise when the distinctive exceptional points in the energy surfaces of such models are annihilated. We illustrate the characteristics of the topologically protected states in a non-Hermitian two-band model.

  We study the photon-dipole interactions between emitters dispersively coupled to the photonic analogue of a flat band (FB) We show that the strength of such photon-mediated interactions decays exponentially with distance with a characteristic localization length. We find that the localization length grows with the overlap between CLSs according to an analytically-derived universal scaling law valid for a large class of FBs both in 1D and 2D.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.
