The energy band theory is one of the cornerstones of condensed matter physics. It also has wide applications in other branches of physics. Recently, a number of questions from non-Hermitian physics call for a generalization of energy band theory to non-Hermitian systems. In the study of non-Hermitian topological states, it has been found that such a generalization necessitates redefinitions of certain fundamental concepts of band theory. In particular, the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) causes the breakdown of Bloch-band picture and conventional bulk-boundary correspondence. To calculate the energy spectra and define topological invariants, the standard Brillouin zone gives way to the generalized Brillouin zone (GBZ). Many intriguing non-Hermitian phenomena, including the non-Hermitian skin effect, can be precisely characterized in terms of the generalized Brillouin zone. The non-Hermitian band theory based on the concept of generalized Brillouin zone, now generally known as the non-Bloch band theory, has successfully described and predicted a number of novel non-Hermitian phenomena. The present article provides a brief introduction to the main concepts of non-Bloch band theory, and its applications in the non-Hermitian bulk-boundary correspondence, Green’s functions, wave dynamics, chiral damping, and non-Bloch parity-time symmetry.

$ {{H}} $ with additional single-particle gain and loss. (b) Eigenenergies of damping matrix$ {{X}} $ . Blue: periodic boundary condition. Red: open boundary condition. The Liouvillian gap under periodic boundary condition is zero for A and B ($t_1\leqslant t_2$ ), while it is nonzero for C and D ($t_1>t_2$ ). Parameter values are shown in panel (c). (c) Time evolution of the fermion number deviation from the steady-state value,$\tilde n(t)$ , of a periodic-boundary chain. The damping is algebraic for A, B and exponential for C, D. (d) Time evolution of site-resolved fermion number deviation from the steady-state values,$\tilde n_x(t)$ , for the periodic boundary condition (left) and open boundary condition (right). (e) Time evolution of$\tilde n(t)$ under periodic boundary conditions (solid curve) and open boundary conditions (dashed curves) for different chain length$L$ . (f) Time evolution of$\tilde n_x(t)$ for an open-boundary chain at different$x$ . Parameters in (d)–(f):$t_1=t_2=1, \;\gamma_g=\gamma_l=0.2$ . The initial state in (c)–(f) is$\prod_{x, s}\hat{c}_{x, s}^\dagger \left| 0 \right\rangle$ [74].图 10 一维量子行走系统的准能谱虚部

For (d), there is an on-site random potential$V=\displaystyle \sum\nolimits_{\mathbf{r}\in\text{Boundary}}w(\boldsymbol{r}) \left| {\boldsymbol{r}} \right\rangle \left\langle {\boldsymbol{r}} \right|$ on boundary sites where$w(\boldsymbol{r})$ is uniformly distributed in$[-W/2, W/2]$ with$W=0.7$ . Numerically, a complex energy holds a nonzero imaginary part if$|\operatorname{Im}(E)|>10^{-10}$ [86]. -
