Localization in non-Hermitian quasicrystals can differ fundamentally from its Hermitian counterpart when non-reciprocity is spatially disordered. Here we study a one-dimensional non-Hermitian Aubry-Andr\'{e}-Harper chain with a Bernoulli…

Non-orthogonal eigenstates are a fundamental feature of non-Hermitian systems and are accompanied by the emergence of nontrivial features. However, the platforms to explore non-Hermitian mode couplings mainly measure near-field effects, and…

We study a non-Hermitian variant of the (2+1)-dimensional Dirac wave equation, which hosts a real energy spectrum with pairwise-orthogonal eigenstates. In the spatially uniform case, the Hamiltonian's non-Hermitian symmetries allow its…

In 1996, Hatano and Nelson proposed a non-Hermitian lattice model containing an imaginary Peierls phase [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77 570-573 (1996)], which subsequent analyses revealed to be an instance of a new class of topological systems. Here,…
