Unconventional and robust light-matter interactions based on the non-Hermitian skin effect by Lei Du, Anton Frisk Kockum

“…Such non-Hermitian lattices provide a promising paradigm for engineering exotic light-matter interactions which benefit from the intrinsic chirality and unconventional (non-Bloch) band theory. Here we study a series of unconventional light-matter interactions between quantum emitters and the prototypical Hatano-Nelson model, and briefly discuss the case with an extended lattice model dubbed the bosonic Kitaev chain. …”
