Arbitrary Control of Non-Hermitian Skin Modes via Disorder and An Electric Field

Zhao-Fan Cai, Yang Li, Yu-Ran Zhang +4

The non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE), characterized by the accumulation of a macroscopic number of bulk states at system boundaries, is a hallmark of non-Hermitian physics. However…

Quantum-Squeezing-Induced Algebraic Non-Hermitian Skin Effects and Ultra Spectral Sensitivity

Zhao-Fan Cai, Tao Liu

The well-established non-Bloch band theory predicts exponential localization of skin-mode eigenstates in one-dimensional (1D) non-Hermitian systems. Recent studies, however, have u…

Interaction-Induced Higher-Order Topological Insulator via Floquet Engineering

Chun-Ping Su, Zhao-Fan Cai, Tao Liu

Higher-order topological insulators have attracted significant interest in both static single-particle and many-body lattice systems. While periodically driven (Floquet) higher-ord…

Experimental Observation of Topological Disclination States in Lossy Electric Circuits

Jin Liu, Wei-Wu Jin, Zhao-Fan Cai +6

Topological phase transitions can be remarkably induced purely by manipulating gain and loss mechanisms, offering a novel approach to engineering topological properties. Recent the…

Interaction-Induced Second-Order Skin Effect

Wen-Zheng Ling, Zhao-Fan Cai, Tao Liu

In contrast to the conventional (first-order) non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) in a -dimensional system with linear size , the th-order (higher-order) NHSE is characterize…

Versatile Control of Nonlinear Topological States in Non-Hermitian Systems

Zhao-Fan Cai, Yu-Chun Wang, Yu-Ran Zhang +2

The non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) and nonlinearity can both delocalize topological modes (TMs) from the interface. However, the NHSE requires precise parameter tuning, while non…

Dissipation and Interaction-Controlled Non-Hermitian Skin Effects

Yang Li, Zhao-Fan Cai, Tao Liu +1

Non-Hermitian skin effects (NHSEs) have recently been extensively studied at the single-particle level. When many-body interactions become dominant, novel non-Hermitian phenomena c…

Chiral-Extended Photon-Emitter Dressed States in Non-Hermitian Topological Baths

Zhao-Fan Cai, Xin Wang, Zi-Xuan Liang +2

The interplay of quantum emitters and non-Hermitian structured baths has received increasing attention in recent years. Here, we predict unconventional quantum optical behaviors of…

Non-Hermitian Skin Effect in Periodically-Driven Dissipative Ultracold Atoms

Zhao-Fan Cai, Tao Liu, Zhongmin Yang

The non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE), featured by the collapse of bulk-band eigenstates into the localized boundary modes of the systems, is one of most striking properties in the…
