• Abstract: Non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) and nonlinearity can each delocalize topological zero modes (TZMs) from the boundary. To overcome the challenge of precise parameter tuning imposed by the NHSE-induced delocalization and to enhance the capacity of TZMs limited by nonlinearity-induced partial delocalization in Hermitian systems, we develop non-Hermitian nonlinear topological interface models. This model consists of both Hermitian and non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chains, incorporating nonreciprocal hopping and nonlinearity. When the nonlinearity is applied to both chains, the TZM becomes fully delocalized, extending across the entire lattice of two chains without the need for precise parameter tuning. By adjusting nonlinear coefficients in both chains, the wavefunction profile and plateaus across the entire lattice can be effectively controlled and customized through inherent configuration and intensity of the nonlinearity. Furthermore, the spectral localizer is utilized to demonstrate the topological protection of these extended non-Hermitian TZMs, confirming their robustness against disorder. Their dynamical stability under external pumping is also validated. Our findings provide a deeper insight into how nonlinearity and NHSE affect the behavior of topological modes, opening new possibilities for enhancing their capacity and performance in compact devices.

  We analyze models governed by the replicator equation of evolutionary game theory and related Lotka-Volterra systems of population dynamics. We study the emergence of exceptional points in two cases: (a) when the governing symmetry properties are tied to global properties of the models, and (b) when these symmetries emerge locally around stationary states.

  Topological modes (TMs) are typically localized at boundaries, interfaces and dislocations, and exponentially decay into the bulk of a large enough lattice. Recently, the non-Hermitian skin effect has been leveraged to delocalize the wavefunctions of TMs from the boundary. Here, we explore the capability of nonlinearity in designing and reconfiguring the wavefunctions of TMs.

  The mean-field Langevin dynamics (MFLD) is a nonlinear generalization of the Langevin dynamics that incorporates a distribution-dependent drift. Recent works have shown that MFLD globally minimizes an entropy-regularized convex functional in the space of measures. We provide a framework to prove a uniform-in-time propagation of chaos for MFLD that takes into account the errors due to finite-particle approximation, time-discretization, and gradient approximation.

  This work explores the possibility of creating and controlling unconventional nonlinearities by periodic driving. By means of a parent quantum many-body description, we demonstrate that such driven systems are well captured by an effective NLSE. We analyze these intriguing properties both in the weakly-interacting (mean-field) regime, captured by the effective NLSE, and in the strongly-correlated quantum regime.

We find a class of discrete breathers that aggregate to one boundary, here named as it skin discrete breathers (SDBs) The nonlinear spectrum of these SDBs shows a hierarchical power-law scaling near the EP.

• Subradiant edge states in an atom chain with waveguide-mediated hopping [0.0]
  We analyze a system formed by two chains of identical emitters coupled to a waveguide, whose guided modes induce excitation hopping. We find that, in the single excitation limit, the bulk topological properties of the Hamiltonian that describes the coherent dynamics of the system are identical to the ones of a one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We analytically identify parameter regimes where edge states arise which are fully localized to the boundaries of the chain, independently of the system size.

  Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states. We implement the one-dimensional kicked Ising model which exhibits non-local Majorana edge modes (MEMs) with $mathbbZ$ parity symmetry. MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism.
