Unveiling non-Hermitian band structures with non-Bloch supercells

Abstract Real-valued band structures underpin the analysis of periodic Hermitian systems and are well established experimentally. By contrast, non-Hermitian systems feature complex band structures, in which energy and momentum acquire imaginary parts, enabling phenomena that defy...

Observation of erratic non-Hermitian skin localization and transport

Abstract Localization is a pervasive phenomenon across physics, shaping transport from electrons in solids to light and sound in engineered media. In traditional settings, disorder strongly impedes transport, resulting in dynamical localization or, at best, sub-ballistic or diffu...
