• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: The Hatano-Nelson and the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model are paradigmatic examples of non-Hermitian systems that host non-trivial boundary phenomena. In this work, we use recently developed graph-theoretical tools to design systems whose isospectral reduction -- akin to an effective Hamiltonian -- has the form of either of these two models. In the reduced version, the couplings and on-site potentials become energy-dependent. We show that this leads to interesting phenomena such as an energy-dependent non-Hermitian skin effect, where eigenstates can simultaneously localize on either ends of the systems, with different localization lengths. Moreover, we predict the existence of various topological edge states, pinned at non-zero energies, with different exponential envelopes, depending on their energy. Overall, our work sheds new light on the nature of topological phases and the non-Hermitian skin effect in one-dimensional systems.

  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.

  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.

• Continuous phase transition induced by non-Hermiticity in the quantum contact process model [44.58985907089892]
  How the property of quantum many-body system especially the phase transition will be affected by the non-hermiticity remains unclear. We show that there is a continuous phase transition induced by the non-hermiticity in QCP. We observe that the order parameter and susceptibility display infinitely even for finite size system, since non-hermiticity endows universality many-body system with different singular behaviour from classical phase transition.

  We present a scheme for engineering non-Hermitian Hamiltonians as a result of repetitive measurements on an anicillary qubit. We show that the effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian drives the system to a maximally entangled stationary state. In addition, we report a new recipe to construct a physical scenario where the quantum dynamics of a physical system represented by a given non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model may be simulated.

  We study the dynamics of an initial end state in nonreciprocal Su-Schrieffer-Heeger models under open boundary conditions. We find that it is dynamically more robust than its Hermitian counterpart, because the non-Hermitian skin effect can suppress the part leaking to the bulk sites.
