The generalized Brillouin zone (GBZ), which is the core concept of the non-Bloch band theory to rebuild the bulk boundary correspondence in the non-Hermitian topology, appears as a closed loop generally. In this work, we find that even if the GBZ itself collapses into a point, the recovery of the open boundary energy spectrum by the continuum bands remains unchanged. Contrastively, if the bizarreness of the GBZ occurs, the winding number will become illness. Namely, we find that the bulk boundary correspondence can still be established whereas the GBZ has singularities from the perspective of the energy, but not from the topological invariants. Meanwhile, regardless of the fact that the GBZ comes out with the closed loop, the bulk boundary correspondence can not be well characterized yet because of the ill-definition of the topological number. Here, the results obtained may be useful for improving the existing non-Bloch band theory.

We provide a systematic and self-consistent method to calculate the generalized Brillouin Zone (GBZ) analytically in one dimensional non-Hermitian systems, which helps us to understand the non-Hermitian bulk-boundary correspondence. In general, a n-b
and non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is constituted by n distinct sub-GBZs, each of which is a piecewise analytic closed loop. Based on the concept of resultant, we can show that all the analytic properties of the GBZ can be characterized by an algebraic equation, the solution of which in the complex plane is dubbed as auxiliary GBZ (aGBZ). We also provide a systematic method to obtain the GBZ from aGBZ. Two physical applications are also discussed. Our method provides an analytic approach to the spectral problem of open boundary non-Hermitian systems in the thermodynamic limit.
Bulk-boundary correspondence, connecting the bulk topology and the edge states, is an essential principle of the topological phases. However, the bulk-boundary correspondence is broken down in general non-Hermitian systems. In this paper, we construc
t one-dimensional non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model with periodic driving that exhibits non-Hermitian skin effect: all the eigenstates are localized at the boundary of the systems, whether the bulk states or the zero and the $pi$ modes. To capture the topological properties, the non-Bloch winding numbers are defined by the non-Bloch periodized evolution operators based on the generalized Brillouin zone. Furthermore, the non-Hermitian bulk-boundary correspondence is established: the non-Bloch winding numbers ($W_{0,pi}$) characterize the edge states with quasienergies $epsilon=0, pi$. In our non-Hermitian system, a novel phenomenon can emerge that the robust edge states can appear even when the Floquet bands are topological trivial with zero non-Bloch band invariant, which is defined in terms of the non-Bloch effective Hamiltonian. We also show that the relation between the non-Bloch winding numbers ($W_{0,pi}$) and the non-Bloch band invariant ($mathcal{W}$): $mathcal{W}= W_{0}- W_{pi}$.
Topological characterization of non-Hermitian band structures demands more than a straightforward generalization of the Hermitian cases. Even for one-dimensional tight binding models with non-reciprocal hopping, the appearance of point gaps and the s
kin effect leads to the breakdown of the usual bulk-boundary correspondence. Luckily, the correspondence can be resurrected by introducing a winding number for the generalized Brillouin zone for systems with even number of bands and chiral symmetry. Here, we analyze the topological phases of a non-reciprocal hopping model on the stub lattice, where one of the three bands remains flat. Due to the lack of chiral symmetry, the bi-orthogonal Zak phase is no longer quantized, invalidating the winding number as a topological index. Instead, we show that a $Z_2$ invariant can be defined from Majoranas stellar representation of the eigenstates on the Bloch sphere. The parity of the total azimuthal winding of the entire Majorana constellation correctly predicts the appearance of edge states between the bulk gaps. We further show that the system is not a square-root topological insulator, despite the fact that its parent Hamiltonian can be block diagonalized and related to a sawtooth lattice model. The analysis presented here may be generalized to understand other non-Hermitian systems with multiple bands.
Bulk-boundary correspondence is the cornerstone of topological physics. In some non-Hermitian topological system this fundamental relation is broken in the sense that the topological number calculated for the Bloch energy band under the periodic boun
dary condition fails to reproduce the boundary properties under the open boundary. To restore the bulk-boundary correspondence in such non-Hermitian systems a framework beyond the Bloch band theory is needed. We develop a non-Hermitian Bloch band theory based on a modified periodic boundary condition that allows a proper description of the bulk of a non-Hermitian topological insulator in a manner consistent with its boundary properties. Taking a non-Hermitian version of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model as an example, we demonstrate our scenario, in which the concept of bulk-boundary correspondence is naturally generalized to non-Hermitian topological systems.
Bulk-boundary correspondence, a central principle in topological matter relating bulk topological invariants to edge states, breaks down in a generic class of non-Hermitian systems that have so far eluded experimental effort. Here we theoretically pr
edict and experimentally observe non-Hermitian bulk-boundary correspondence, a fundamental generalization of the conventional bulk-boundary correspondence, in discrete-time non-unitary quantum-walk dynamics of single photons. We experimentally demonstrate photon localizations near boundaries even in the absence of topological edge states, thus confirming the non-Hermitian skin effect. Facilitated by our experimental scheme of edge-state reconstruction, we directly measure topological edge states, which match excellently with non-Bloch topological invariants calculated from localized bulk-state wave functions. Our work unequivocally establishes the non-Hermitian bulk-boundary correspondence as a general principle underlying non-Hermitian topological systems, and paves the way for a complete understanding of topological matter in open systems.
