In this paper, we study the topological properties of the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) lattice by periodically introducing onsite imaginary potentials in the manner of ($i\gamma_1$, $-i\gamma_2$, $-i\gamma_1$, $i\gamma_2$) where…

Starting from a double quantum dot realization of a minimal Kitaev chain, we demonstrate that non-Hermicity stabilizes the so-called poor man's Majorana zero modes in a region of parameter space that is much broader than in the Hermitian…

Non-Hermitian systems have been at the center of intense research for over a decade, partly due to their nontrivial energy topology formed by intersecting Riemann manifolds with branch points known as exceptional points (EPs). This spectral…

We identify anomalous scale-free localization and the associated impurity-induced loss bursts in a non-Hermitian dissipative cross-stitch lattice. By a local basis rotation, the model is mapped onto an effective non-Hermitian…

The quantum evolution of the Wigner function for Gaussian wave packets generated by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is investigated. In the semiclassical limit $\hbar\to 0$ this yields the non-Hermitian analog of the Ehrenfest theorem for the…

Disorder and coherence jointly govern wave transport in complex media. In Hermitian systems, a long-established paradigm since Anderson's work holds that disorder-induced localization relies on phase-coherent interference, and that the loss…

We study inter-chain pair tunnelling dynamics based on an exact two-particle solution for a two-leg ladder. We show that the Hermitian Hamiltonian shares a common two-particle eigenstate with a corresponding non-Hermitian Hubbard…
