Scale-free localization in pseudo-Hermitian quantum walk

Haiting Zhang, Lei Xiao, Cui-Xian Guo +2

Scale-free localization is a distinctive phenomenon in non-Hermitian systems, where specific eigenstates, known as scale-free localized states (LSs), possess localization lengths t…

Non-Hermitian sensing in the absence of exceptional points

Lei Xiao, Yaoming Chu, Quan Lin +4

Open systems possess unique potentials in high-precision sensing, yet the majority of previous studies rely on the spectral singularities known as exceptional points. Here we theor…

Phase-driven interaction of widely separated nonlinear Schrödinger solitons

Justin Holmer, Quanhui Lin

We show that, for the 1d cubic NLS equation, widely separated equal amplitude in-phase solitons attract and opposite-phase solitons repel. Our result gives an exact description of…
