We explore anomalous skin effects at non-Hermitian impurities by studying their interplay
with potential disorder and by exactly solving a minimal lattice model. A striking feature of …

Topological excitations or defects such as solitons are ubiquitous throughout physics,
supporting numerous interesting phenomena like zero-energy modes with exotic statistics …

Thermal equilibrium states of local quantum many-body systems are notorious for their
spatially decaying correlations, which place severe restrictions on the types of many-body …

We consider the ground state of two species of one-dimensional critical free theories
coupled together via a conformal interface. They have an internal U (1) global symmetry and …

Quantum impurity models (QIMs) are ubiquitous throughout physics. As simplified toy
models they provide crucial insights for understanding more complicated strongly correlated …

We consider an analytically tractable model that exhibits the main features of the Page curve
characterizing the evolution of entanglement entropy during evaporation of a black hole. Our …

We consider a free-fermion chain with a conformal defect that features an extended zero
mode, and study the entanglement properties in its mixed ground state. The zero-mode …

We study the time evolution of the Rényi entanglement entropies following a quantum
quench in a two-dimensional (2D) free fermion system. By employing dimensional reduction …

We consider the quench dynamics of non-interacting fermions in one dimension in the
presence of a finite-size impurity at the origin. This impurity is characterized by general …

A bstract We consider a quantum junction described by a 1+ 1-dimensional boundary
conformal field theory (BCFT). Our analysis focuses on correlations emerging at finite …
