The single orbital, one-dimensional, Hatano-Nelson Hamiltonian provides deep insight into the physics of non-Hermiticity, resulting from asymmetric left/right hopping, and its connections to localization. In the absence of disorder, its…

We examine a non-Hermitian (NH) tight-binding system comprising of two orbitals per unit cell and their electrical circuit analogues. We distinguish the PT-symmetric and non-PT symmetric cases characterised by non-reciprocal nearest…

In this review we discuss the connection between two seemingly disparate topics, macroscopic gravity on astrophysical scales and Hamiltonians that are not Hermitian but $PT$ symmetric on microscopic ones. In particular we show that the…
