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…
Anderson Delocalization in Strongly Coupled Disordered Non-Hermitian Chains
Wei-Wu Jin, Jin Liu, Xin Wang +7
Disorder and non-Hermitian effects together can upend how waves localize. In a 1D disordered chain, the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) can induce Anderson delocalization, defying…
Soliton self-excitation under pulsed driving in a Kerr resonator
Matthew Macnaughtan, Zongda Li, Yiqing Xu +5
We present a novel regime of cavity soliton excitation in a Kerr resonator driven by a train of desynchronised pulses. In this regime, the soliton solution is shown to be the sole…
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…
