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…

The non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE), characterized by extensive boundary accumulation of eigenstates under open boundary conditions, has emerged as a central phenomenon in non-Hermitian physics. Conventionally, the NHSE arises from either…

A fundamental axiom of quantum mechanics requires the Hamiltonians to be Hermitian which guarantees real eigen-energies and probability conservation. However, a class of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with Parity-Time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry…
