• Title: General criterion for non-Hermitian skin effects and Application: Fock space skin effects in many body systems
• Authors: Kenji Shimomura, Masatoshi Sato,
• Abstract summary: Non-Hermitian skin effects are well-established for single-particle systems, but their proper characterization for general systems is elusive. We propose a general criterion of non-Hermitian skin effects, which works for any finite-dimensional system evolved by a linear operator. Applying the criterion, we discover a new type of non-Hermitian skin effect in many-body systems, which we dub the Fock space skin effect.

• Abstract: Non-Hermiticity enables macroscopic accumulation of bulk states, named non-Hermitian skin effects. The non-Hermitian skin effects are well-established for single-particle systems, but their proper characterization for general systems is elusive. Here, we propose a general criterion of non-Hermitian skin effects, which works for any finite-dimensional system evolved by a linear operator. The applicable systems include many-body systems and network systems. A system meeting the criterion exhibits enhanced non-normality of the evolution operator, accompanied by exceptional characteristics intrinsic to non-Hermitian systems. Applying the criterion, we discover a new type of non-Hermitian skin effect in many-body systems, which we dub the Fock space skin effect. We also discuss the Fock space skin effect-induced slow dynamics, which gives an experimental signal for the Fock space skin effect.

Our results combine high enantiosensitivity with topological robustness in chiral discrimination and separation, paving the way for new approaches in the control of non-Hermitian and chiral phenomena.

• Exceptional points in SSH-like models with hopping amplitude gradient [41.94295877935867]
  Recent interest in exceptional points has led to re-examination of non-Hermitian generalizations of many physical models. In such non-Hermitian systems, singular points called exceptional points (EPs) appear that are of interest for applications in super-resolution sensing systems and topological lasers. It is found that while the existence of the EPs is due to the nonreciprocal couplings, the number, position, and order of the EPs can all be altered by the addition of the hopping amplitude gradient.

• 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.

  We show that the so-called skin effect originating from non-Hermitian pumping can manifest as dynamical amplification within the Fock space. We propose an experimental realization of the non-Hermitian scar enhancement in a tilted Bose-Hubbard optical lattice with laser-induced loss. Our results show that the Fock skin effect provides a powerful tool for creating robust non-ergodic states in generic open quantum systems.

  We present Arvalus and its variant D-Arvalus, a neural graph transformation method that models system components as nodes and their dependencies as edges to improve the identification and localization of anomalies. Given a series of metric, our method predicts the most likely system state - either normal or an anomaly class - and performs localization when an anomaly is detected. The evaluation shows the generally good prediction performance of Arvalus and reveals the advantage of D-Arvalus which incorporates information about system component dependencies.

  We experimentally prove the feasibility of disordered quantum walks to realize a quantum simulator that is able to model general subdiffusive phenomena. Our experiment simulates such phenomena by means of a finely controlled insertion of various levels of disorder during the evolution of the walker. This allows us to explore the full range of subdiffusive behaviors, ranging from anomalous Anderson localization to normal diffusion.
