the context of quantum field theories, have been successfully deployed over a wide range of …

Sensing with exceptional surfaces in order to combine sensitivity with robustness

Q Zhong, J Ren, M Khajavikhan, DN Christodoulides… - Physical review …, 2019 - APS
Exceptional points (EPs) are singularities that arise in non-Hermitian physics. Current
research efforts focus only on systems supporting isolated EPs characterized by increased …

R El-Ganainy, M Khajavikhan… - Communications …, 2019 - nature.com
Recent years have seen a tremendous progress in the theory and experimental
implementations of non-Hermitian photonics, including all-lossy optical systems as well as …

Hierarchical construction of higher-order exceptional points

Q Zhong, J Kou, ŞK Özdemir, R El-Ganainy - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
The realization of higher-order exceptional points (HOEPs) can lead to orders of magnitude
enhancement in light-matter interactions beyond the current fundamental limits …

High-order exceptional points in supersymmetric arrays

SM Zhang, XZ Zhang, L **, Z Song - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
We employ the intertwining operator technique to synthesize a supersymmetric (SUSY)
array of arbitrary size N. The synthesized SUSY system is equivalent to a spin (N− 1)/2 …

Petermann factors and phase rigidities near exceptional points

J Wiersig - Physical Review Research, 2023 - APS
The Petermann factor and the phase rigidity are convenient measures for various aspects of
open quantum and wave systems, such as the sensitivity of energy eigenvalues to …

Hybrid exceptional point created from type-III Dirac point

L **, HC Wu, BB Wei, Z Song - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
Degeneracy points and exceptional points embedded in the energy band are distinct
because of their topological features. We report a hybrid exceptional point formed through …

Exceptional points of any order in a single, lossy waveguide beam splitter by photon-number-resolved detection

MA Quiroz-Juárez, A Perez-Leija, K Tschernig… - Photonics …, 2019 - opg.optica.org
Exceptional points (EPs) are degeneracies of non-Hermitian operators where, in addition to
the eigenvalues, the corresponding eigenmodes become degenerate. Classical and …

High-order exceptional points in ultracold Bose gases

L Pan, S Chen, X Cui - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
We show that arbitrarily-high-order exceptional points (EPs) can be achieved in a
repulsively interacting two-species Bose gas in one dimension. By exactly solving the non …

High-order spectral singularity

HS Xu, LC **e, L ** - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
Exceptional point and spectral singularity are two types of singularity that are unique to non-
Hermitian systems. Here, we report the high-order spectral singularity as a high-order pole …
