Phase Transitions and Topological Protection in Anyonic-PT-Symmetric Lattices

Ruiying Zhang, Ziteng Wang, Daohong Song +3

Parity-time (PT) symmetry and anti-PT symmetry have attracted extensive interest for their non-Hermitian spectral properties, particularly the emergence of purely real and imaginar…

Optical Tautochrone and Squeezing Dynamics in Nonuniform Lattices

Ioannis Kiorpelidis, Matthias Heinrich, Alexander Szameit +2

We present exact analogies between the tautochrone problem of classical mechanics and the squeezed states of quantum optics to optical lattices. Both phenomena emerge in the same p…

Defect-driven incoherent skin localization

Emmanouil T. Kokkinakis, Konstantinos G. Makris, Eleftherios N. Economou

The process of dephasing during wave evolution has traditionally been viewed as an obstacle to localization, leading to diffusion even in strongly disordered Hermitian lattices. In…

Self-trapping and skin solitons in two-dimensional non-Hermitian lattices

Emmanouil T. Kokkinakis, Ioannis Komis, Konstantinos G. Makris

Two-dimensional non-Hermitian photonic lattices with asymmetric couplings offer rich possibilities for controlling wave localization, through the emergence of the non-Hermitian ski…

Dephasing-induced jumps in non-Hermitian disordered lattices

Emmanouil T. Kokkinakis, Konstantinos G. Makris, Eleftherios N. Economou

Changes in the wavefunction's phase during propagation in a random Hermitian lattice, a process known as dephasing, results in diffusion rather than Anderson localization. However,…

Diffraction and pseudospectra in non-Hermitian quasiperiodic lattices

Ananya Ghatak, Dimitrios H. Kaltsas, Manas Kulkarni +1

Wave dynamics in disordered open media is an intriguing topic, and has lately attracted a lot of attention in non-Hermitian physics, especially in photonics. In fact, spatial distr…

Scaling of pseudospectra in exponentially sensitive lattices

Ioannis Kiorpelidis, Konstantinos G. Makris

One of the important features of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians is the existence of a unique type of singularities, the so-called exceptional points (EPs). When the corresponding syste…

Nonlinear dynamics and chaos in dissipative optical trimers with complex couplings

Johanne Hizanidis, Konstantinos G. Makris

In the context of non-Hermitian photonics, we consider a nonlinear optical trimer with three lossy waveguides with complex couplings. This non-Hermitian trimer exhibits stable stat…

Anderson localization versus hopping asymmetry in a disordered lattice

E. T. Kokkinakis, K. G. Makris, E. N. Economou

In the framework of non-Hermitian photonics, we investigate the interplay between disorder and non-Hermiticity in a one-dimensional Hatano-Nelson lattice. While Anderson localizati…

Robustness versus sensitivity in non-Hermitian topological lattices probed by pseudospectra

I. Komis, D. Kaltsas, S. Xia +3

Non-Hermitian topological systems simultaneously posses two antagonistic features: ultra sensitivity due to exceptional points and robustness of topological zero energy modes, and…

Spectral method for efficient computation of time-dependent phenomena in complex lasers

O. Malik, K. G. Makris, H. E. Türeci

Studying time-dependent behavior in lasers is analytically difficult due to the saturating non-linearity inherent in the Maxwell-Bloch equations and numerically demanding because o…
