We show that non-Hermitian engineering can play a positive role in quantum systems. This is in contrast to the widely accepted notion that optical losses are a foe that must be eliminated or, at least, minimized. We take advantage of the…
Criteria are formulated both for the existence and for the non-existence of complex eigenvalues for a class of non self-adjoint operators in Hilbert space invarariant under a particular discrete symmetry. Applications to the PT-symmetric…
