The energy level spacing distribution of a tight-binding hamiltonian is monitored across the mobility edge for a fixed disorder strength. Any mixing of extended and localized levels is avoided in the configurational averages, thus…

We study the one-dimensional non-Hermitian lattices with linearly varying nonreciprocal hopping, where the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) is found to be dissolved gradually as the strength of nonreciprocity increases. The energy spectrum…

Boundary conditions can have dramatic impact in non-Hermitian systems, as exemplified by the non-Hermitian skin effect. Focusing on one-dimensional non-Hermitian quasiperioidic lattices, we show that the interplay of quasiperiodicity and…

Non-Hermitian systems exhibit anomalous scaling, a striking departure from conventional bulk laws, rooted in the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE). Here, we experimentally uncover this scaling and demonstrate its active control in a temporal…
