• Abstract: We present a study of complex energy braiding in a 1D non-Hermitian system with $n$th order long range asymmetrical coupling. Our work highlights the emergence of novel topological phenomena in such systems beyond the conventional nearest-neighbor interaction. The modified SSH model displays $n$ distinct knots and links combinations in the complex energy-momentum space under periodic boundary conditions (PBC), which can be controlled by varying the coupling strengths. A topological invariant, namely the braiding index, is introduced to characterize the different complex energy braiding profiles, which depends on the zeros and poles of the characteristic polynomials. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the non-Hermitian skin effect can be localized at one or both ends, signifying conventional or bipolar localization, depending on the sign of the braiding index. Phase transitions between different braiding phases with the same (opposite) sign of the topological invariant occur at Type-1 (Type-2) exceptional points, with Type-1 (Type-2) phase transitions accompanied by single (multiple) exceptional points. We propose an experimental set-up to realize the various braiding schemes based on the RLC circuit framework, which provides an accessible avenue for implementation without recourse to high-dimensional momentum space required in most other platforms.

  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.

  Periodically driven non-Hermitian systems could possess exotic nonequilibrium phases with unique topological, dynamical and transport properties.

Our work thus introduces a new type of non-Hermitian Floquet topological matter, and further reveals the richness of topology and dynamics in driven open systems.
