Mathematics - Analysis of PDEs - Abstract
We present the mathematical and numerical theory for evanescent waves in subwavelength band gap materials. We begin in the one-dimensional case, whereby fully explicit formulas for the complex band structure, in terms of the capacitance matrix, are available. As an example, we show that the gap functions can be used to accurately predict the decay rate of the interface mode of a photonic analogue of the SSH-model. In two dimensions, we derive the band gap Green's function and characterise the subwavelength gap functions via layer potential techniques. By generalising existing lattice-summation techniques, we illustrate our results numerically by computing the complex band structure in a variety of settings., Comment: 24 pages, 11 figures

Condensed Matter - Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics - Abstract
We consider Bloch states of weak spacetime-periodic perturbations of homogeneous materials in one spatial dimension. The interplay of space- and time-periodicity leads to an infinitely degenerate dispersion relation in the free case. We consider a general perturbation term, and, as a consequence of the infinite degeneracy, we show that the effective equations are given by the eigenvalue problem of an infinite matrix. Our method can be viewed as a time-modulated generalisation of the nearly-free electron model. Based on this result, we find that the infinite degeneracy may split into a family of non-degenerate bands. Our results are illustrated with numerical calculations, and we observe close agreement between the perturbation theory and the numerically computed full solution., Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures

In this paper we study the dynamics of metamaterials composed of high-contrast subwavelength resonators and show the existence of localised modes in such a setting. A crucial assumption in this paper is time-modulated material parameters. We prove a so-called capacitance matrix approximation of the wave equation in the form of an ordinary differential equation. These formulas set the ground for the derivation of a first-principles characterisation of localised modes in terms of the generalised capacitance matrix. Furthermore, we provide numerical results supporting our analytical results showing for the first time the phenomenon of space-time localised waves in a perturbed time-modulated metamaterial. Such spatio-temporal localisation is only possible in the presence of subwavelength resonances in the unperturbed structure. We introduce the time-dependent degree of localisation to quantitatively determine the localised modes and provide a variety of numerical experiments to illustrate our formulations and results., Comment: 23 pages, 6 figures

Condensed Matter - Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics - Abstract
We consider the resonance and scattering properties of a composite medium containing scatterers whose properties are modulated in time. When excited with an incident wave of a single frequency, the scattered field consists of a family of coupled harmonics at frequencies differing by the frequency of temporal modulation. Similarly, the temporal modulation induces coupling between the resonance frequencies, leading to exceptional points at certain modulation amplitudes. Moreover, the lack of energy conservation causes scattering coefficients to blow up when (complex) resonances cross the real axis. We have developed an integral operator approach to characterize the scattering problem and, for high-contrast scatterers, we present small-volume asymptotic formulas analogous to the classical results for the static (unmodulated) case. We conclude the paper with a boundary integral formulation of the time-modulated problem, which gives an efficient numerical approach and corroborates the asymptotic formulas., Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures.

Condensed Matter - Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics ,Mathematical Physics - Abstract
We illuminate the fundamental mechanism responsible for the transition between the non-Hermitian skin effect and defect-induced localization in the bulk. We study a Hamiltonian with non-reciprocal couplings that exhibits the skin effect (the localization of all eigenvectors at one edge) and add an on-site defect in the center. Using a two-scale asymptotic method, we characterize the long-scale growth and decay of the eigenvectors and derive a simple and intuitive effective model for the transition that occurs when the defect is sufficiently large that one of the modes is localized at the defect site, rather than at the edge of the system.

We consider wave scattering from a system of highly contrasting resonators with time-modulated material parameters. In this setting, the wave equation reduces to a system of coupled Helmholtz equations that models the scattering problem. We consider the one-dimensional setting. In order to understand the energy of the system, we prove a novel higher-order discrete, capacitance matrix approximation of the subwavelength resonant quasifrequencies. Further, we perform numerical experiments to support and illustrate our analytical results and show how periodically time-dependent material parameters affect the scattered wave field., Comment: 20 pages, 9 figures

This paper studies wave localisation in chains of finitely many resonators. There is an extensive theory predicting the existence of localised modes induced by defects in infinitely periodic systems. This work extends these principles to finite-sized systems. We consider finite systems of subwavelength resonators arranged in dimers that have a geometric defect in the structure. This is a classical wave analogue of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We prove the existence of a spectral gap for defectless finite dimer structures and find a direct relationship between eigenvalues being within the spectral gap and the localisation of their associated eigenmode. Then we show the existence and uniqueness of an eigenvalue in the gap in the defect structure, proving the existence of a unique localised interface mode. To the best of our knowledge, our method, based on Chebyshev polynomials, is the first to characterise quantitatively the localised interface modes in systems of finitely many resonators., Comment: 21 pages

We continue our study of the quantum optics of a single photon interacting with a system of two level atoms. In this work we investigate the case of a periodic arrangement of atoms. We provide a general structure theorem characterizing the band functions of this problem, which comprise the spectrum of the associated Hamiltonian. Additionally, we study atomic densities arising as periodically arranged scaled inclusions. For this family of examples, we obtain explicit asymptotic formulas for the band functions., Comment: 32 pages, 6 figures

We study the non-Hermitian skin effect in a three-dimensional system of finitely many subwavelength resonators with an imaginary gauge potential. We introduce a discrete approximation of the eigenmodes and eigenfrequencies of the system in terms of the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the so-called gauge capacitance matrix $\mathcal{C}_N^\gamma$, which is a dense matrix due to long-range interactions in the system. Based on translational invariance of this matrix and the decay of its off-diagonal entries, we prove the condensation of the eigenmodes at one edge of the structure by showing the exponential decay of its pseudo-eigenvectors. In particular, we consider a range-k approximation to keep the long-range interaction to a certain extent, thus obtaining a k-banded gauge capacitance matrix $\mathcal{C}_{N,k}^\gamma$ . Using techniques for Toeplitz matrices and operators, we establish the exponential decay of the pseudo-eigenvectors of $\mathcal{C}_{N,k}^\gamma$ and demonstrate that they approximate those of the gauge capacitance matrix $\mathcal{C}_N^\gamma$ well. Our results are numerically verified. In particular, we show that long-range interactions affect only the first eigenmodes in the system. As a result, a tridiagonal approximation of the gauge capacitance matrix, similar to the nearest-neighbour approximation in quantum mechanics, provides a good approximation for the higher modes. Moreover, we also illustrate numerically the behaviour of the eigenmodes and the stability of the non-Hermitian skin effect with respect to disorder in a variety of three-dimensional structures., Comment: 32 pages, 11 figures

This paper shows that the skin effect in systems of non-Hermitian subwavelength resonators is robust with respect to random imperfections in the system. The subwavelength resonators are highly contrasting material inclusions that resonate in a low-frequency regime. The non-Hermiticity is due to the introduction of an imaginary gauge potential, which leads to a skin effect that is manifested by the system's eigenmodes accumulating at one edge of the structure. We elucidate the topological protection of the associated (real) eigenfrequencies and illustrate the competition between the two different localisation effects present when the system is randomly perturbed: the non-Hermitian skin effect and the disorder-induced Anderson localisation. We show that, as the strength of the disorder increases, more and more eigenmodes become localised in the bulk. Our results are based on an asymptotic matrix model for subwavelength physics and can be generalised also to tight-binding models in condensed matter theory., Comment: 18 pages, 14 figures

We study the skin effect in a one-dimensional system of finitely many subwavelength resonators with a non-Hermitian imaginary gauge potential. Using Toeplitz matrix theory, we prove the condensation of bulk eigenmodes at one of the edges of the system. By introducing a generalised (complex) Brillouin zone, we can compute spectral bands of the associated infinitely periodic structure and prove that this is the limit of the spectra of the finite structures with arbitrarily large size. Finally, we contrast the non-Hermitian systems with imaginary gauge potentials considered here with systems where the non-Hermiticity arises due to complex material parameters, showing that the two systems are fundamentally distinct., Comment: 28 pages, 11 figures

Mathematical Physics ,Quantum Physics - Abstract
We consider the quantum optics of a single photon interacting with a system of two level atoms. This leads to the study of a nonlinear eigenproblem for a system of nonlocal partial differential equations. Two classes of solutions to these equations are studied. Bound states correspond to negative eigenvalues and resonances to eigenvalues with positive real parts. We have found necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of bound states, along with an upper bound on the number of such states. We have also considered the eigenproblem for atomic models with small high contrast inclusions. In this setting, we have derived asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues. Our results are illustrated with numerical computations., Comment: 33 pages, 4 figures. v.2: Corrected typos

Mathematical Physics ,Mathematics - Analysis of PDEs ,Mathematics - Spectral Theory - Abstract
We show that resonant frequencies of a system of coupled resonators in a truncated periodic lattice converge to the essential spectrum of corresponding infinite lattice. We use the capacitance matrix as a model for fully coupled resonators with long-range interactions in three spatial dimensions. For one-, two- or three-dimensional lattices embedded in three-dimensional space, we show that the (discrete) density of states for the finite system converge in distribution to the (continuous) density of states of the infinite system. We achieve this by proving a weak convergence of the finite capacitance matrix to corresponding (translationally invariant) Toeplitz matrix of the infinite structure. With this characterization at hand, we use the truncated Floquet transform to introduce a notion of spectral band structure for finite materials. This principle is also applicable to structures that are not translationally invariant and have interfaces. We demonstrate this by considering examples of perturbed systems with defect modes, such as an analogue of the well-known interface Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model.

Mathematics - Analysis of PDEs ,Physics - Applied Physics - Abstract
The aim of this article is to advance the field of metamaterials by proposing formulas for the design of high-contrast metamaterials with prescribed subwavelength defect mode eigenfrequencies. This is achieved in two settings: (i) design of non-hermitian static materials and (ii) design of instantly changing non-hermitian time-dependent materials. The design of static materials is achieved via characterizing equations for the defect mode eigenfrequencies in the setting of a defected dimer material. These characterizing equations are the basis for obtaining formulas for the material parameters of the defect which admit given defect mode eigenfrequencies. Explicit formulas are provided in the setting of one and two given defect mode eigenfrequencies in the setting of a defected chain of dimers. In the time-dependent case, we first analyze the influence of time-boundaries on the subwavelength solutions. We find that subwavelength solutions are preserved if and only if the material parameters satisfy a temporal Snell's law across the time boundary. The same result also identifies the change of the time-frequencies uniquely. Combining this result with those on the design of static materials, we obtain an explicit formula for the material design of instantly changing defected dimer materials which admit subwavelength modes with prescribed time-dependent defect mode eigenfrequency. Finally, we use this formula to create materials which admit spatio-temporally localized defect modes., Comment: v.2: Corrected metadata

We solve the wave equation with periodically time-modulated material parameters in a one-dimensional high-contrast resonator structure in the subwavelength regime exactly, for which we compute the subwavelength quasifrequencies numerically using Muller's method. We prove a formula in the form of an ODE using a capacitance matrix approximation. Comparison of the exact results with the approximations reveals that the method of capacitance matrix approximation is accurate and significantly more efficient. We prove various transmission properties in the aforementioned structure and illustrate them with numerical simulations. In particular, we investigate the effect of time-modulated material parameters on the formation of degenerate points, band gaps and k-gaps., Comment: 23 pages, 11 figures

Mathematical Physics ,Mathematics - Analysis of PDEs ,Nonlinear Sciences - Chaotic Dynamics - Abstract
We show that defect modes in infinite systems of resonators have corresponding modes in finite systems which converge as the size of the system increases. We study the generalized capacitance matrix as a model for three-dimensional coupled resonators with long-range interactions and consider defect modes that are induced by compact perturbations. If such a mode exists, then there are elements of the discrete spectrum of the corresponding truncated finite system that converge to each element of the pure point spectrum. The rate of convergence depends on the dimension of the lattice. When the dimension of the lattice is equal to that of the physical space, the convergence is exponential. Conversely, when the dimension of the lattice is less than that of the physical space, the convergence is only algebraic, because of long-range interactions arising due to coupling with the far field.

In this paper, we use recent breakthroughs in the study of coupled subwavelength resonator systems to reveal new insight into the mechanisms responsible for the fundamental features of Anderson localization. The occurrence strong localization in random media has proved difficult to understand, particularly in physically derived multi-dimensional models and systems with long-range interactions. We show here that the scattering of time-harmonic waves by high-contrast resonators with randomly chosen material parameters reproduces the characteristic features of Anderson localization. In particular, we show that the hybridization of subwavelength resonant modes is responsible for both the repulsion of energy levels as well as the widely observed phase transition, at which point eigenmode symmetries swap and very strong localization is possible. We derive results from first principles, using asymptotic expansions in terms of the material contrast parameter and obtain a characterization of the localized modes in terms of generalized capacitance matrices. This model captures the long-range interactions of the wave-scattering system and provides a concise framework to explain the exotic phenomena that are observed.

Mathematics - Analysis of PDEs - Abstract
Our aim in this paper is twofold. Firstly, we develop a new asymptotic theory for Floquet exponents. We consider a linear system of differential equations with a time-periodic coefficient matrix. Assuming that the coefficient matrix depends analytically on a small parameter, we derive a full asymptotic expansion of its Floquet exponents. Based on this, we prove that only the constant order Floquet exponents of multiplicity higher than one will be perturbed linearly. The required multiplicity can be achieved via folding of the system through certain choices of the periodicity of the coefficient matrix. Secondly, we apply such an asymptotic theory for the analysis of Floquet metamaterials. We provide a characterization of asymptotic exceptional points for a pair of subwavelength resonators with time-dependent material parameters. We prove that asymptotic exceptional points are obtained if the frequency components of the perturbations fulfill a certain ratio, which is determined by the geometry of the dimer of subwavelength resonators.

We prove the possibility of achieving non-reciprocal wave propagation in space-time modulated media and give an asymptotic analysis of the non-reciprocity property in terms of the amplitude of the time-modulation. Such modulation causes a folding of the band structure of the material, which may induce degenerate points. By breaking time-reversal symmetry, we show that these degeneracies may open into non-symmetric, unidirectional band gaps. Finally we illustrate our results by several numerical simulations., Comment: 24 pages, 7 figures

Mathematics - Analysis of PDEs ,Condensed Matter - Materials Science - Abstract
The goal of this paper is to relate the capacitance matrix formalism to the tight-binding approximation. By doing so, we open the way to the use of mathematical techniques and tools from condensed matter theory in the mathematical and numerical analysis of metamaterials, in particular for the understanding of their topological properties. We firstly study how the capacitance matrix formalism, both when the material parameters are static and modulated, can be posed in a Hamiltonian form. Then, we use this result to compare this formalism to the tight-binding approximation. We prove that the correspondence between the capacitance formulation and the tight-binding approximation holds only in the case of dilute resonators. On the other hand, the tight-binding model is often coupled with a nearest-neighbour approximation, whereby long-range interactions are neglected. Even in the dilute case, we show that long-range interactions between subwavelength resonators are relatively strong and nearest-neighbour approximations are not generally appropriate., Comment: 25 pages, 2 figures

We survey functional analytic methods for studying subwavelength resonator systems. In particular, rigorous discrete approximations of Helmholtz scattering problems are derived in an asymptotic subwavelength regime. This is achieved by re-framing the Helmholtz equation as a non-linear eigenvalue problem in terms of integral operators. In the subwavelength limit, resonant states are described by the eigenstates of the generalised capacitance matrix, which appears by perturbing the elements of the kernel of the limiting operator. Using this formulation, we are able to describe subwavelength resonance and related phenomena. In particular, we demonstrate large-scale effective parameters with exotic values. We also show that these systems can exhibit localised and guided waves on very small length scales. Using the concept of topologically protected edge modes, such localisation can be made robust against structural imperfections.

When wave scattering systems are subject to certain symmetries, resonant states may decouple from the far-field continuum; they remain localized to the structure and cannot be excited by incident waves from the far field. In this work, we use layer-potential techniques to prove the existence of such states, known as bound states in the continuum, in systems of subwavelength resonators. When the symmetry is slightly broken, this resonant state can be excited from the far field. Remarkably, this may create asymmetric (Fano-type) scattering behaviour where the transmission is fundamentally different for frequencies on either side of the resonant frequency. Using asymptotic analysis, we compute the scattering matrix of the system explicitly, thereby characterizing this Fano-type transmission anomaly., Comment: 25 pages, 8 figures

In the field of metamaterials, many intriguing phenomena arise from having a structure which is periodic in space. In time-dependent structures, conceptually similar properties can arise, which nevertheless have fundamentally different physical implications. In this work, we study time-dependent systems in the context of subwavelength metamaterials. The main result is a capacitance matrix characterization of the band structure, which generalizes previous recent work on static subwavelength metamaterials. This characterization provides both theoretical insight and efficient numerical methods to compute the dispersion relationship of time-dependent structures. We exemplify this in several structures exhibiting interesting wave manipulation properties., Comment: 20 pages, 9 figures. Improved writing and typos corrected compared to v1

Systems exhibiting degeneracies known as exceptional points have remarkable properties with powerful applications, particularly in sensor design. These degeneracies are formed when eigenstates coincide, and the remarkable effects are exaggerated by increasing the order of the exceptional point (that is, the number of coinciding eigenstates). In this work, we use asymptotic techniques to study PT-symmetric arrays of many subwavelength resonators and search for high-order asymptotic exceptional points. This analysis reveals the range of different configurations that can give rise to high-order exceptional points and provides efficient techniques to compute them. We also show how systems exhibiting high-order exceptional points can be used for sensitivity enhancement.

Wave scattering structures with amplification and dissipation can be modelled by non-Hermitian systems, opening new ways to control waves at small length scales. In this work, we study the phenomenon of topologically protected edge states in acoustic systems with gain and loss. We demonstrate that localized edge modes appear in a periodic structure of subwavelength resonators with a defect in the gain/loss distribution, and explicitly compute the corresponding frequency and decay length. Similarly to the Hermitian case, these edge modes can be attributed to the winding of the eigenmodes. In the non-Hermitian case, the topological invariants fail to be quantized, but can nevertheless predict the existence of localized edge modes., Comment: 19 pages, 11 figures

When sources of energy gain and loss are introduced to a wave-scattering system, the underlying mathematical formulation will be non-Hermitian. This paves the way for the existence of exceptional points, where eigenmodes are linearly dependent. The primary goal of this work is to study the existence of exceptional points in high-contrast subwavelength metamaterials. We begin by studying a parity-time-symmetric pair of subwavelength resonators and prove that this system supports asymptotic exceptional points. These are points at which the subwavelength eigenvalues and eigenvectors coincide at leading order in the asymptotic parameters. We then investigate further properties of parity-time-symmetric subwavelength metamaterials. First, we study the exotic scattering behaviour of a metascreen composed of repeating parity-time-symmetric pairs of subwavelength resonators. We prove that the non-Hermitian nature of this structure means that it exhibits asymptotic unidirectional reflectionless transmission at certain frequencies and demonstrate extraordinary transmission close to these frequencies. Thereafter, we consider cavities containing many small resonators and use homogenization theory to show that non-Hermitian behaviour can be replicated at the macroscale., Comment: 34 pages, 8 figures.

Robustly manipulating waves on subwavelength scales can be achieved by, firstly, designing a structure with a subwavelength band gap and, secondly, introducing a defect so that eigenfrequencies fall within the band gap. Such frequencies are well known to correspond to localized modes. We study a one-dimensional array of subwavelength resonators, proving that there is a subwavelength band gap, and showing that by introducing a dislocation we can place localized modes at any point within the band gap. We complement this analysis by studying the stability properties of the corresponding finite array of resonators, demonstrating the value of being able to customize the position of eigenvalues within the band gap., Comment: 44 pages, 11 figures.

The goal of this paper is to advance the development of wave-guiding subwavelength crystals by developing designs whose properties are stable with respect to imperfections in their construction. In particular, we make use of a locally resonant subwavelength structure, composed of a chain of high-contrast resonators, to trap waves at deep subwavelength scales. We first study an infinite chain of subwavelength resonator dimers and define topological quantities that capture the structure's wave transmission properties. Using this for guidance, we design a finite crystal that is shown to have wave localization properties, at subwavelength scales, that are robust with respect to random imperfections., Comment: 28 pages, 9 figures.

The recent development of subwavelength photonic and phononic crystals shows the possibility of controlling wave propagation at deep subwavelength scales. Subwavelength bandgap phononic crystals are typically created using a periodic arrangement of subwavelength resonators, in our case small gas bubbles in a liquid. In this work, a waveguide is created by modifying the sizes of the bubbles along a line in a dilute two-dimensional bubbly crystal, thereby creating a line defect. Our aim is to prove that the line defect indeed acts as a waveguide; waves of certain frequencies will be localized to, and guided along, the line defect. The key result is an original formula for the frequencies of the defect modes. Moreover, these frequencies are numerically computed using the multipole method, which numerically illustrates our main results., Comment: 24 pages, 5 figures

In [H. Ammari et al., Honeycomb-lattice Minnaert bubbles. arXiv:1811.03905], the existence of a Dirac dispersion cone in a bubbly honeycomb phononic crystal is shown. The aim of this paper is to prove that, near the Dirac points, the Bloch eigenfunctions is the sum of two eigenmodes. Each eigenmode can be decomposed into two components: one which is slowly varying and satisfies a homogenized equation, while the other is periodic across each elementary crystal cell and is highly oscillating. The slowly oscillating components of the eigenmodes satisfy a system of Dirac equations. Our results in this paper proves for the first time a near-zero effective refractive index near the Dirac points for the plane-wave envelopes of the Bloch eigenfunctions in a sub-wavelength metamaterial. They are illustrated by a variety of numerical examples. We also compare and contrast the behaviour of the Bloch eigenfunctions in the honeycomb crystal with that of their counterparts in a bubbly square crystal, near the corner of the Brillouin zone, where the maximum of the first Bloch eigenvalue is attained., Comment: 22 pages, 9 figures. Added details on uniformity of expansions

The ability to manipulate the propagation of waves on subwavelength scales is important for many different physical applications. In this paper, we consider a honeycomb lattice of subwavelength resonators and prove, for the first time, the existence of a Dirac dispersion cone at subwavelength scales. As shown in [H. Ammari et al., A high-frequency homogenization approach near the Dirac points in bubbly honeycomb crystals, arXiv:1812.06178], near the Dirac points, honeycomb crystals of subwavelength resonators has a great potential to be used as near-zero materials. Here, we perform the analysis for the example of bubbly crystals, which is a classic example of subwavelength resonance, where the resonant frequency of a single bubble is known as the Minnaert resonant frequency. Our first result is an asymptotic formula for the quasi-periodic Minnaert resonant frequencies. We then prove the linear dispersion relation of a Dirac cone. Our findings in this paper are numerically illustrated in the case of circular bubbles, where the multipole expansion method provides an efficient technique for computing the band structure., Comment: 31 pages, 6 figures.

The aim of this paper is to derive a formula for the subwavelength resonance frequency of an encapsulated bubble with arbitrary shape in two dimensions. Using Gohberg-Sigal theory, we derive an asymptotic formula for this resonance frequency, as a perturbation away from the resonance of the uncoated bubble, in terms of the thickness of the coating. The formula is numerically verified in the case of circular bubbles, where the resonance can be efficiently computed using the multipole method., Comment: 19 pages, 3 figures

The ability to control wave propagation is of fundamental interest in many areas of physics. Photonic and phononic crystals have proved very useful for this purpose but, because they are based on Bragg interference, these artificial media require structures with large dimensions. In [Ammari et al., Subwavelength phononic bandgap opening in bubbly media, J. Diff. Eq., 263 (2017), 5610--5629], it has been proved that a subwavelength bandgap opening occurs in bubbly phononic crystals. To demonstrate the opening of a subwavelength phononic bandgap, a periodic arrangement of bubbles is considered and their subwavelength Minnaert resonance is exploited. In this paper, this subwavelength bandgap is used to demonstrate cavities, very similar to those obtained in photonic and phononic crystals, albeit of deeply subwavelength dimensions. The key idea is to perturb the size of a single bubble inside the crystal, thus creating a defect. The goal is then to analytically and numerically show that this crystal has a localized eigenmode close to the defect bubble., Comment: 19 pages, 4 figures, typos corrected, added argument to account for dilute regime

This paper shows both analytically and numerically that the skin effect in systems of non-Hermitian subwavelength resonators is robust with respect to random imperfections in the system. The subwavelength resonators are highly contrasting material inclusions that resonate in a low-frequency regime. The non-Hermiticity is due to the introduction of a directional damping term (motivated by an imaginary gauge potential), which leads to a skin effect that is manifested by the system's eigenmodes accumulating at one edge of the structure. We elucidate the topological protection of the associated (real) eigenfrequencies and illustrate numerically the competition between the two different localization effects present when the system is randomly perturbed: the non-Hermitian skin effect and the disorder-induced Anderson localization. We show numerically that, as the strength of the disorder increases, more and more eigenmodes become localized in the bulk. Our results are based on an asymptotic matrix model for subwavelength physics and can be generalized also to tight-binding models in condensed matter theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We consider the quantum optics of a single photon interacting with a system of two-level atoms. The wave properties of this interacting system are determined by the spectral properties of a matrix Hamiltonian, involving a nonlocal partial differential operator, acting on photonic and atomic degrees of freedom. We study the spectral problem via a reduction to a spectral problem for a scalar nonlocal operator, which depends nonlinearly on the spectral parameter. We investigate two classes of solutions: Bound states are solutions that decay at infinity, while resonance states have locally finite energy and satisfy a non-self-adjoint outgoing radiation condition at infinity. We have found necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of bound states, along with an upper bound on the number of such states. We have also considered these problems for atomic models with small, high-contrast inclusions. In this setting, we have derived asymptotic formulas for the resonances. Our results are illustrated with numerical computations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
