Our study shows that the symmetry of these modulations and the magnetic flux $theta$ play a pivotal role in shaping the localization properties of the system.

• Abstract: We investigate the influence of quasiperiodic modulations on one-dimensional non-Hermitian diamond lattices with an artificial magnetic flux $\theta$ that possess flat bands. Our study shows that the symmetry of these modulations and the magnetic flux $\theta$ play a pivotal role in shaping the localization properties of the system. When $\theta=0$, the non-Hermitian lattice exhibits a single flat band in the crystalline case, and symmetric as well as antisymmetric modulations can induce accurate mobility edges. In contrast, when $\theta=\pi$, the clean diamond lattice manifests three dispersionless bands referred to as an "all-band-flat" (ABF) structure, irrespective of the non-Hermitian parameter. The ABF structure restricts the transition from delocalized to localized states, as all states remain localized for any finite symmetric modulation. Our numerical calculations further unveil that the ABF system subjected to antisymmetric modulations exhibits multifractal-to-localized edges. Multifractal states are predominantly concentrated in the internal region of the spectrum. Additionally, we explore the case where $\theta$ lies within the range of $(0, \pi)$, revealing a diverse array of complex localization features. Finally, we propose a classical electrical circuit scheme to realize the non-Hermitian flat-band chain with quasiperiodic modulations.

  We explore a model of free fermions in one dimension subject to frustrated local measurements across adjacent sites. For maximal misalignment, superdiffusive behavior emerges from the vanishing of the measurement-induced quasiparticle decay rate. Our findings show how intricate fractal-scaling entanglement can be produced for local Hamiltonians.

  We show that the mosaic AA limit for the states in the band-edge regions evolves into multifractal ones through a cascade of delocalization transitions. This cascade shows lobes of lower fractal dimension values separated by maxima of fractal dimension. In contrast, the states in the band-center region display an anomalous cascading process, where it emerges lobes of higher fractal dimension values are separated by the regions with lower fractal dimensions.

  We discuss a non-Hermitian system governed by random nearest-neighbour tunnellings. A physical situation of completely real eigenspectrum arises owing to the Hamiltonian's tridiagonal matrix structure. The off-diagonal disorder leads the non-Hermitian system to a delocalization-localization crossover in finite systems.

At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.
