• Abstract: We derive the asymptotic forms of the Green's function at the open edges of general non-Hermitian band systems in all dimensions in the long-time limit, using a modified saddle-point approximation and the analytic continuation of the momentum. The edge dynamics is determined by the "dominant saddle point", a complex momentum, which, contrary to previous conjectures, may lie outside the generalized Brillouin zone. From this result, we obtain the effective edge Hamiltonians that evidently, as demonstrated by extensive numerical simulations, characterize the dynamics on the edges, and can be probed in real-time experiments or spectroscopies.

We use hyperbolic Bloch theory to investigate band structures of hyperbolic lattices in the presence of non-Hermitian on-site gain and loss. Our results unveil an abundance of exceptional degeneracies in hyperbolic non-Hermitian matter.

  We show that all analytic quantum dynamics can be represented exactly as the reduction of unitary dynamics generated by a time-dependent Hamiltonian. More precisely, we prove that the partial trace over analytic paths of unitaries can approximate any Lipschitz-continuous quantum dynamics arbitrarily well.

We show how to efficiently prepare particles in these edge modes in three distinct Floquet topological regimes. We study how edge modes emerge at the interface and how the group velocity of the particles is modified as the sharpness of the potential step is varied.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.
