• Title: Extended unitarity and absence of skin effect in periodically driven systems
• Authors: Aditi Chakrabarty, Sanjoy Datta,
• Abstract summary: A time-periodic drive in such systems can eliminate the SE up to a finite strength of this asymmetry. We find that the absence of SE is intricately linked to the emergence of extended unitarity in the delocalized phase. We propose a possible experimental realization of our driven system, which could be used as a switch to control the light funneling mechanism.

• Abstract: One of the most striking features of non-Hermitian quasiperiodic systems with arbitrarily small asymmetry in the hopping amplitudes and open boundaries is the accumulation of all the bulk eigenstates at one of the edges of the system, termed in literature as the skin effect, below a critical strength of the potential. In this Letter, we uncover that a time-periodic drive in such systems can eliminate the SE up to a finite strength of this asymmetry. Remarkably, the critical value for the onset of SE is independent of the driving frequency and approaches to the static behavior in the thermodynamic limit. We find that the absence of SE is intricately linked to the emergence of extended unitarity in the delocalized phase, providing dynamical stability to the system. Interestingly, under periodic boundary condition, our non-Hermitian system can be mapped to a Hermitian analogue in the large driving frequency limit that leads to the extended unitarity irrespective of the hopping asymmetry and the strength of the quasiperiodic potential, in stark contrast to the static limit. Additionally, we numerically verify that this behavior persists Based on our findings, we propose a possible experimental realization of our driven system, which could be used as a switch to control the light funneling mechanism.

Type II QBLs are dynamically stable for infinite size, but become unstable under open boundary conditions for arbitrary finite system size.

• Prethermalization in periodically-driven nonreciprocal many-body spin systems [0.0]
  We analyze a new class of time-periodic nonreciprocal dynamics in interacting chaotic classical spin systems. We find that the magnetization dynamics features a long-lived metastable plateau, whose duration is controlled by the fourth power of the drive frequency. We extend the notion of prethermal dynamics, observed in the high-frequency limit of periodically-driven systems, to nonreciprocal systems.

• Non-Hermitian skin effect and self-acceleration [0.0]
  Non-Hermitian systems exhibit nontrivial band topology and a strong sensitivity of the energy spectrum on the boundary conditions. A macroscopic number of bulk states get squeezed toward the lattice edges under open boundary conditions, an effect dubbed the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) Here we unravel a different dynamical signature of the NHSE in real space that manifests itself in the em early-time dynamics of the system, namely self-acceleration of the wave function.

• Clean two-dimensional Floquet time-crystal [68.8204255655161]
  We consider the two-dimensional quantum Ising model, in absence of disorder, subject to periodic imperfect global spin flips. We show by a combination of exact diagonalization and tensor-network methods that the system can sustain a spontaneously broken discrete time-translation symmetry. We observe a non-perturbative change in the decay rate of the order parameter, which is related to the long-lived stability of the magnetic domains in 2D.
