• Abstract: Boundary conditions can have dramatic impact in non-Hermitian systems, as exemplified by the non-Hermitian skin effect. Focusing on one-dimensional non-Hermitian quasiperioidic lattices, we show that the interplay of quasiperiodicity and the non-Hermitian skin effect leads to counterintuitive localization properties. On the one hand, for Anderson localized states under the periodic boundary condition, we find that their localization features can be boundary-sensitive, which originates from the incompatibility of the periodic boundary condition with quasiperiodicity. On the other hand, for non-localized states, the well-known extended-localized duality relation can break down, as their counterparts in the dual model can also be nonlocal. We discuss how these remarkable phenomena can be engineered and analyzed from the perspective of Lyapunov exponents. Our findings shed new light on localization in non-Hermitian quasiperiodic systems.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

• Anomalously large relaxation times in dissipative lattice models beyond the non-Hermitian skin effect [49.1574468325115]
  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.
