Abstract: It is generally believed that the non-Hermitian effect (NHSE), due to its non-reciprocal nature, creates barriers for the appearance of impurity bound states. In this paper, we find that in two and higher dimensions, the presence of geometry-dependent skin effect eliminates this barrier such that even an infinitesimal impurity potential can confine bound states in this type of non-Hermitian systems. By examining bound states around Bloch saddle points, we find that non-Hermiticity can disrupt the isotropy of bound states, resulting in concave dumbbell-shaped bound states. Our work reveals a geometry transition of bound state between concavity and convexity in high-dimensional non-Hermitian systems.

Gapless Floquet topology [40.2428948628001]
We study the existence of topological edge zero- and pi-modes despite the lack of bulk gaps in the quasienergy spectrum. We numerically study the effect of interactions, which give a finite lifetime to the edge modes in the thermodynamic limit with the decay rate consistent with Fermi's Golden Rule.

Topological Order in the Spectral Riemann Surfaces of Non-Hermitian Systems [44.99833362998488]
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.

We find two flavours of bound states in the continuum, both stable even in the absence of chiral symmetry. Results clarify fundamental aspects of topology, and symmetry in the light of different approaches to the anomalous non-Hermitan bulk-boundary correspondence.

Coexistence of extended and localized states in finite-sized mosaic Wannier-Stark lattices [38.73477976025251]
Quantum transport and localization are fundamental concepts in condensed matter physics. Here, we experimentally implement disorder-free mosaic photonic lattices using a silicon photonics platform. Our studies provide the experimental proof of coexisting sets of strongly localized and conducting (though weakly localized) states in finite-sized mosaic Wannier-Stark lattices.

Selective and tunable excitation of topological non-Hermitian skin modes [0.0]
Non-Hermitian lattices sustain an extensive number of exponentially-localized states, dubbed non-Hermitian skin modes. Such states can be predicted from the nontrivial topology of the energy spectrum under periodic boundary conditions. In any realistic system with a finite lattice size most of skin edge states collapse and become metastable states.
