- Abstract summary: We study the linear response of disordered non-Hermitian systems, which is precisely described by the Green's function.
We find that the average maximum value of matrix elements of Green's functions, which quantifies the maximum response against an external perturbation, exhibits different phases characterized by different scaling behaviors.
Our work highlights an unexpected interplay between non-Hermitian skin effect and Anderson localization.

- Abstract: The competition between non-Hermitian skin effect and Anderson localization leads to various intriguing phenomena concerning spectrums and wavefunctions. Here, we study the linear response of disordered non-Hermitian systems, which is precisely described by the Green's function. We find that the average maximum value of matrix elements of Green's functions, which quantifies the maximum response against an external perturbation, exhibits different phases characterized by different scaling behaviors with respect to the system size. Whereas the exponential-growth phase is also seen in the translation-invariant systems, the algebraic-growth phase is unique to disordered non-Hermitian systems. We explain the findings using the large deviation theory, which provides analytical insights into the algebraic scaling factors of non-Hermitian disordered Green's functions. Furthermore, we show that these scaling behaviors can be observed in the steady states of disordered open quantum systems, offering a quantum-mechanical avenue for their experimental detection. Our work highlights an unexpected interplay between non-Hermitian skin effect and Anderson localization.

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.
