A non-unitary transformation leading to a Hatano-Nelson problem is performed on an array of equally-spaced optical waveguides. Such transformation produces a non-reciprocal system of waveguides, as the corresponding Hamiltonian becomes…

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…

A recently introduced one-dimensional two-particle Bose-Hubbard model with a single impurity is studied on finite lattices. The model possesses a discrete reflection symmetry and we demonstrate that all eigenstates odd under this symmetry…

We show that exceptional points (EPs) and non-Hermitian behavior can emerge dynamically in impurity models with Hermitian microscopic origins. Using perturbative renormalization group (RG) analysis, Fock-space diagonalization, and spin-spin…

When one applies a type of non-Hermitian effect, constant imaginary vector potential, to disordered systems, delocalization is induced even in two or lower dimension. By using the non-Hermitian induced transition as a probe, We propose a…

The spectra of particles in disordered lattices can either be completely extended or localized or can be intermediate which hosts both the localized and extended states separated from each other. In this work, however, we show that in the…

A hole in a two-dimensional Ising antiferromagnet was believed to be infinitely heavy due to the string of wrongly oriented spins it creates as it moves, which should trap it near its original location. Trugman showed that, in fact, the…
