Non-Hermitian Mott skin effect

DOI

This file contains all the data, as well as the code necessary to reproduce the exact diagonalization calculations in Phys. Rev. Lett. 133, 076502 (2024) in which the phenomenon of a non-Hermitian Mott skin effect is introduced theoretically. Skin effects are a key differentiating feature of (one-dimensional) non-Hermitian systems, and are characterized by the exponential accumulation of charge towards one side of the system in all its eigenstates. It appears in noninteracting systems. This work finds a novel analogous effect which is specific to interacting quantum particles, where the particle density is constant, but a flavour/spin degree of freedom shows the exponential localization. This is demonstrated with exact diagonalization calculations of the non-Hermitian many-body Hamiltonian as well as the time-evolution of the Lindbladian.
