Article Abstract
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 distributions of gain and loss elements are physically possible in the context of integrated photonic waveguide arrays. In these type of lattices, counterintuitive quantized jumps along the propagation direction appear in the strong disorder limit (where all eigenstates are localized), and they have also been recently experimentally observed. We systematically study the non-Hermitian quasiperiodic Aubry-André-Harper model with on-site gain and loss distribution, with an emphasis on the spectral sensitivity based on pseudospectra analysis. Moreover, diffraction dynamics and the quantized jumps as well as the effect of saturable nonlinearity are investigated in detail. In this paper, we reveal the intricate relation between the nonlinearity and non-hermiticity.

Hidden Self Duality and Exact Mobility Edges in Quasiperiodic Network Models.

In one-dimensional quasiperiodic systems, only a few models with exact mobility edges (MEs) have been constructed using generalized self duality theory, Avila's global theory, or the renormalization group method. This raises an intriguing question of whether we can realize more physical models with exact solvable MEs. In this Letter, we uncover the hidden self duality within a class of quasiperiodic network models constituted by periodic and quasiperiodic sites.

Understanding the interplay of non-Hermiticity and topology is crucial given the intrinsic openness of most natural and engineered systems, and has important ramifications in topological lasers and sensors. Recently, it has been theoretically proposed that topological features could originate solely from a system's non-Hermiticity in photonic platforms. Here we experimentally demonstrate the appearance of non-Hermitian topology exclusively from loss modulation in a photonic system that is topologically trivial in the absence of loss.

Measurement-induced entanglement phase transitions (MIETs) highlight how local measurements drive quantum systems between area-law and volume-law entangled states. This review surveys MIET in free fermion models, focusing on how unitary hopping competes with measurement-induced non-unitarity. We discuss controversies regarding the existence of MIET in one dimension, the impact of non-Hermitian skin effects, and potential experimental platforms.

In this work, we apply the non-Hermitian AAH potential field to the photonic system induced by gain and loss. It is found that the potential field with different parameters will cause the system to exhibit different local properties and induce different localized edge states under the open boundary conditions.
