We investigate two non-Hermitian two-photon quantum Rabi models (tpQRM) that exhibit $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry: the biased tpQRM (btpQRM), in which the qubit bias is purely imaginary, and the dissipative tpQRM (dtpQRM), where the two-photon…
PT-symmetric systems can have a real spectrum even when their Hamiltonian is non-hermitian, but develop a complex spectrum when the degree of non-hermiticity increases. Here we utilize random-matrix theory to show that this spontaneous…
Exceptional points, at which two or more eigenfunctions of a Hamiltonian coalesce, occur in non-Hermitian systems and lead to surprising physical effects. In particular, the behaviour of a system under parameter variation can differ…
