Subskin modes are distinct from conventional skin modes as they localize not at the system's edge but rather below the edge. Unlike skin modes, where a substantial number of them can accumulate at the boundaries of a system due to the…

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,…

Recently, it was discovered that certain non-Hermitian systems can exhibit qualitative different properties at different system sizes, such as being gapless at small sizes and having topological edge modes at large sizes $L$. This dramatic…

Typically, scaling up the size of a system does not change the shape of its energy spectrum, other than making it denser. Exceptions, however, occur in the new phenomenon of non-Hermitian skin criticality, where closely competing…

For non-Hermitian quantum models, the dynamics is apparently not reflected by the static properties, e.g., the complex energy spectrum, because of the nonorthogonality of the right eigenvectors, the nonunitarity of the time evolution, the…

The non-Hermitian skin effect is a unique phenomenon in which an extensive number of eigenstates are localized at the boundaries of a non-Hermitian system. Recent studies show that the non-Hermitian skin effect is significantly suppressed…
