Topological transitions with an imaginary Aubry-André-Harper potential

We study one-dimensional lattices with imaginary-valued Aubry-André-Harper (AAH) potentials. Such lattices can host edge states with purely imaginary eigenenergies, which differ from the edge states of the Hermitian AAH model and are stabilized by a non-Hermitian particle-hole symmetry. The edge sta...
