Berry phases strongly affect the properties of crystalline materials, giving rise to modifications of the semiclassical equations of motion that govern wave-packet dynamics. In non-Hermitian systems, generalizations of the Berry connection have been analyzed to characterize the topology of these systems. While the topological classification of non-Hermitian systems is being developed, little attention has been paid to the impact of the new geometric phases on dynamics and transport. In this work, we derive the full set of semiclassical equations of motion for wave-packet dynamics in a system governed by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, including corrections induced by the Berry connection. We show that non-Hermiticity is manifested in anomalous weight rate and velocity terms that are present already in one-dimensional systems, in marked distinction from the Hermitian case. We express the anomalous weight and velocity in terms of the Berry connections defined in the space of left and right eigenstates and compare the analytical results with numerical lattice simulations. Our work specifies the conditions for observing the anomalous contributions to the semiclassical dynamics and thereby paves the way to their experimental detection, which should be within immediate reach in currently available metamaterials.

We study the geometric response of three-dimensional non-Hermitian crystalline systems with nontrivial point-gap topology. For systems with fourfold rotation symmetry, we show that in the presence of disclination lines with a total Frank angle which
is an integer multiple of $2pi$, there can be nontrivial one-dimensional point-gap topology along the direction of the disclination lines. This results in disclination-induced non-Hermitian skin effects. By doubling a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian to a Hermitian three-dimensional chiral topological insulator, we show that the disclination-induced skin modes are zero modes of the effective surface Dirac fermion(s) in the presence of a pseudomagnetic flux induced by disclinations. Furthermore, we find that our results have a field theoretic description, and the corresponding geometric response actions (e.g., the Euclidean Wen-Zee action) enrich the topological field theory of non-Hermitian systems.
The hallmark of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases is the existence of anomalous boundary states, which can only be realized with the corresponding bulk system. In this work, we show that for every Hermitian anomalous boundary mode of the te
n Altland-Zirnbauer classes, a non-Hermitian counterpart can be constructed, whose long time dynamics provides a realization of the anomalous boundary state. We prove that the non-Hermitian counterpart is characterized by a point-gap topological invariant, and furthermore, that the invariant exactly matches that of the corresponding Hermitian anomalous boundary mode. We thus establish a correspondence between the topological classifications of $(d+1)$-dimensional gapped Hermitian systems and $d$-dimensional point-gapped non-Hermitian systems. We illustrate this general result with a number of examples in different dimensions. This work provides a new perspective on point-gap topological invariants in non-Hermitian systems.
Based on a general transport theory for non-reciprocal non-Hermitian systems and a topological model that encompasses a wide range of previously studied models, we (i) provide conditions for effects such as reflectionless and transparent transport, l
asing, and coherent perfect absorption, (ii) identify which effects are compatible and linked with each other, and (iii) determine by which levers they can be tuned independently. For instance, the directed amplification inherent in the non-Hermitian skin effect does not enter the spectral conditions for reflectionless transport, lasing, or coherent perfect absorption, but allows to adjust the transparency of the system. In addition, in the topological model the conditions for reflectionless transport depend on the topological phase, but those for coherent perfect absorption do not. This then allows us to establish a number of distinct transport signatures of non-Hermitian, nonreciprocal, and topological behaviour, in particular (I) reflectionless transport in a direction that depends on the topological phase, (II) invisibility coinciding with the skin-effect phase transition of topological edge states, and (III) coherent perfect absorption in a system that is transparent when probed from one side.
The usual concepts of topological physics, such as the Berry curvature, cannot be applied directly to non-Hermitian systems. We show that another object, the quantum metric, which often plays a secondary role in Hermitian systems, becomes a crucial q
uantity near exceptional points in non-Hermitian systems, where it diverges in a way that fully controls the description of wavepacket trajectories. The quantum metric behaviour is responsible for a constant acceleration with a fixed direction, and for a non-vanishing constant velocity with a controllable direction. Both contributions are independent of the wavepacket size.
We introduce a non-Hermitian approximation of Bloch optical equations. This approximation provides a complete description of the excitation, relaxation and decoherence dynamics of ensembles of coupled quantum systems in weak laser fields, taking into
account collective effects and dephasing. In the proposed method one propagates the wave function of the system instead of a complete density matrix. Relaxation and dephasing are taken into account via automatically-adjusted time-dependent gain and decay rates. As an application, we compute the numerical wave packet solution of a time-dependent non-Hermitian Schrodinger equation describing the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with a quantum nano-structure and compare the calculated transmission, reflection, and absorption spectra with those obtained from the numerical solution of the Liouville- von-Neumann equation. It is shown that the proposed wave packet scheme is significantly faster than the propagation of the full density matrix while maintaining small error. We provide the key ingredients for easy-to-use implementation of the proposed scheme and identify the limits and error scaling of this approximation.
