Liouvillian topology and nonreciprocal dynamics in open Floquet chains

Florian Koch, Yu-Min Hu, Jan Carl Budich

Open quantum systems far from thermal equilibrium can exhibit remarkable physical phenomena including topological properties without a direct equilibrium counterpart. Along these l…

Quantum Hall Effect without Chern Bands

Benjamin Michen, Jan Carl Budich

The quantum Hall effect was originally observed in a two-dimensional electron gas forming Landau levels when exposed to a strong perpendicular magnetic field and was later generali…

Nodal Spectral Functions Stabilized by Non-Hermitian Topology of Quasiparticles

Carl Lehmann, Tommaso Micallo, Jan Carl Budich

In quantum materials, basic observables such as spectral functions and susceptibilities are determined by Green's functions and their complex quasiparticle spectrum rather than by…

Dissipative frequency converter: from Lindblad dynamics to non-Hermitian topology

Florian Koch, Jan Carl Budich

A topological frequency converter represents a dynamical counterpart of the integer quantum Hall effect, where a two-level system enacts a quantized time-averaged power transfer be…

Correlation-Induced Sensitivity and Non-Hermitian Skin Effect of Quasiparticles

Tommaso Micallo, Carl Lehmann, Jan Carl Budich

Non-Hermitian (NH) Hamiltonians have been shown to exhibit unique signatures, including the NH skin effect and an exponential spectral sensitivity with respect to boundary conditio…

Braid Protected Topological Band Structures with Unpaired Exceptional Points

J. Lukas K. König, Kang Yang, Jan Carl Budich +1

We demonstrate the existence of topologically stable unpaired exceptional points (EPs), and construct simple non-Hermitian (NH) tight-binding models exemplifying such remarkable no…

Topological Burning Glass Effect

Simon Körber, Lorenzo Privitera, Jan Carl Budich +1

We reveal a topological burning glass effect, where the local response of a system exhibits a topological quantization that is enhanced by an integer due to its environmental coupl…

Mesoscopic transport signatures of disorder-induced non-Hermitian phases

Benjamin Michen, Jan Carl Budich

We investigate the impact on basic quantum transport properties of disorder-induced exceptional points (EPs) that emerge in a disorder-averaged Green's function description of two-…

Transition from metal to higher-order topological insulator driven by random flux

Chang-An Li, Song-Bo Zhang, Jan Carl Budich +1

Random flux is commonly believed to be incapable of driving full metal-insulator transitions in non-interacting systems. Here we show that random flux can after all induce a full m…
