• Abstract: The Liouvillian skin effect and the non-Hermitian skin effect have both been used to explain the localization of eigenmodes near system boundaries, though the former is arguably more accurate in some regimes due to its incorporation of quantum jumps. However, these frameworks predominantly focus on weak Markovian interactions, neglecting the potentially crucial role of memory effects. To address this, we investigate, utilizing the powerful hierarchical equations of motion method, how a non-Markovian environment can modify the Liouvillian skin effect. We demonstrate that a non-Markovian environment can induce a ``thick skin effect", where the skin mode broadens and shifts into the bulk. {We further identify that the skin-mode quantum coherence can only be generated when the coupling contains counter-rotating terms}, leading to the coherence-delocalization and oscillatory relaxation with a characteristic linear scaling with system size. Remarkably, both the skin-mode and steady-state coherence exhibit resistance to decoherence from additional environmental noise. These findings highlight the profound impact of system-bath correlations on relaxation and localization, revealing unique phenomena beyond conventional Markovian approximations.

  We investigate the fate of the non-Hermitian skin effect in one-dimensional $textU(1)$ systems. Key feature of the non-Hermitian skin effect for $m$-pole conserving systems is the generation of an $(m+1)$th multipole moment. In addition, we explore the dynamical consequences of the $m$-pole skin effect, focusing on charge and entanglement propagation.

We introduce a many-body open-system model in which the two-body loss generates an interaction-induced non-Hermitian skin effect. Our predictions are testable in state-of-the-art experimental platforms.

  We introduce the concept of dynamical degeneracy splitting to describe the anisotropic decay behaviors in non-Hermitian systems. We demonstrate that systems with dynamical degeneracy splitting exhibit two distinctive features: (i) the system shows frequency-resolved non-Hermitian skin effect; (ii) Green's function exhibits anomalous at given frequency, leading to uneven broadening in spectral function and anomalous scattering.

  We show for generic quantum non-Hermitian tight-binding models that relaxation of local observables are not controlled by the localization length. interference between eigenvectors effectively makes the extreme localization of modes largely irrelevant to relaxation. Our work highlights an important aspect of the non-Hermitian skin effect: the exceptional sensitivity to boundary conditions here necessarily takes a finite amount of time to manifest itself.
