Flat bands, in which kinetic energy is quenched and quantum states become macroscopically degenerate, host a rich variety of correlated and topological phases, from unconventional superconductors to fractional Chern insulators. In Hermitian…
Non-Hermitian band topology can give rise to phenomena with no counterparts in Hermitian systems. A well-known example is the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE), where Bloch eigenstates localize at a boundary, induced by a nontrivial spectrum…
Quantum devices characterized by non-Hermitian topology are predicted to show highly robust and potentially useful properties, but realizing them has remained a daunting experimental task. This is because non-Hermiticity is often associated…
A quantum system subject to continuous measurement and post-selection evolves according to a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. We show that, as one increases the rate of post-selection, this non-Hermitian Hamiltonian undergoes a spectral phase…

The question of anomalous transport due to a band of impurity states in unconventional superconductors is discussed. In general, the bound state energies are not in midgap, even in the unitarity limit. This implies that, generically, the…
