We show that, due to the lack of energy conservation, the dynamics of individual, real-space wave packets follows a different behavior. Both transitions between localization and unidirectional amplification, as well as transitions between distinct propagating phases become possible. The critical exponent of the transition is close to 1/2 in propagating-propagating and (de)localization transitions.enghttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0530Metal-insulator transitionone-dimensional non-Hermitian systemsnon-Hermitian systemsArticle
