Potential disorder in 1D leads to Anderson localization of the entire spectrum. Upon sacrificing hermiticity by adding non-reciprocal hopping, the non-Hermitian skin effect competes with localization. We find another route for…

If a local Hamiltonian eigenstate is mapped to another state by local operators commuting with the Hamiltonian terms, the latter is also an eigenstate. This basic observation implies a no-go result for both being a unique ground state and…

Non-Hermitian skin effects are conventionally manifested as boundary localization of eigenstates in linear systems. In nonlinear settings, however, where eigenstates are no longer well defined, it becomes unclear how skin effects should be…
