Abstract:
Non-Hermitian systems distinguish themselves from Hermitian systems by exhibiting a phase transition point called an exceptional point (EP), at which two eigenstates coalesce under a system parameter variation. Many interesting EP phenomena, such as level crossings in nuclear and condensed matter physics, and unusual phenomena in optics, such as loss-induced lasing and unidirectional transmission, can be understood by considering a simple 2× 2 non-Hermitian matrix. At a higher dimension, more complex EP physics not found in two-state systems arises. We consider the emergence and interaction …
