• Abstract: The non-Hermitian skin effect is the accumulation of eigenstates at the boundaries, reflecting the system's nonreciprocity. Introducing disorder leads to a competition between the skin effect and Anderson localization, giving rise to the skin-Anderson transition. Here, we investigate wave packet spreading in the disordered Hatano-Nelson model and uncover distinct dynamical behaviors across different regimes. In the clean limit, transport is unidirectionally ballistic ({\Delta}x ~ t) due to nonreciprocity. For weak disorder, where skin and Anderson-localized modes coexist, transport transitions from ballistic at early times to superdiffusive ({\Delta}x ~ t^{2/3}) at long times. In the deeply Anderson-localized regime, initial diffusion ({\Delta}x ~ t^{1/2}) eventually gives way to superdiffusive spreading. We examine how these scaling behaviors emerge from the system's spectral properties and eigenstate localization behaviors. Our work unveils the rich dynamics driven by nonreciprocity and disorder in non-Hermitian systems.

  We propose an intuitive Lindbladian composed of two chains with reversed skin localization. In the single-body scenario, it corresponds to a shift in the scaling of the Liouvillian gap. In the many-body scenario, it is revealed that the scaling behavior of steady-state entanglement changes from the area law to the logarithmic law.

  We study a particular failure mode in diffusion models, which we term mode mode. We find that diffusion models smoothly "interpolate" between nearby data modes in the training set, to generate samples that are completely outside the support of the original training distribution. We show how hallucination leads to the generation of combinations of shapes that never existed.

  Real-world multi-agent systems are often dynamic and continuous, where the agents co-evolve and undergo changes in their trajectories and interactions over time. We propose a novel model that captures the continuous interaction among agents using a Graph Neural Network (GNN) as the ODE function. The key innovation of our model is to learn time-dependent representations of treatments and incorporate them into the ODE function, enabling precise predictions of potential outcomes.

  We show for generic quantum non-Hermitian tight-binding models that relaxation of local observables are not controlled by the localization length. interference between eigenvectors effectively makes the extreme localization of modes largely irrelevant to relaxation. Our work highlights an important aspect of the non-Hermitian skin effect: the exceptional sensitivity to boundary conditions here necessarily takes a finite amount of time to manifest itself.

• Unusual wave-packet spreading and entanglement dynamics in non-Hermitian disordered many-body systems [0.0]
  Non-Hermiticity and dephasing realize unconventional entanglement evolution in a disordered quantum medium. We first consider how wave packet spreads in a non-Hermitian disordered system for demonstraing that it is very different from the Hermitian case. We then analyze how the entanglement entropy of the system evolves in the interacting non-Hermitian model.
