We propose a novel type of skin effects in non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems which we dub a non-Hermitian Mott skin effect. This phenomenon is induced by the interplay between strong correlations and the non-Hermitian point-gap…

A system is non-Hermitian when it exchanges energy with its environment and non-reciprocal when it behaves differently upon the interchange of input and response. Within the field of metamaterial research on synthetic topological matter,…

A non-Hermitian extension of a Chern insulator and its bulk-boundary correspondence are investigated. It is shown that in addition to the robust chiral edge states that reflect the nontrivial topology of the bulk (nonzero Chern number),…

We study a system where the two edges of a non-Hermitian lattice with asymmetric nearest-neighbor hopping are connected with two Hermitian lattices with symmetric nearest-neighbor hopping. In the absence of those Hermitian lattices, the…

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…

Skin effect, where macroscopically many bulk states are aggregated towards the system boundary, is one of the most important and distinguishing phenomena in non-Hermitian quantum systems. We discuss a new aspect of this effect whereby,…

We show that anomalous Floquet topological insulators generate intrinsic, non-Hermitian topology on their boundary. As a consequence, removing a boundary hopping from the time-evolution operator stops the propagation of chiral edge modes,…
