We present a general theory of spontaneous emission at exceptional points (EPs)---exotic degeneracies in non-Hermitian systems. Our theory extends beyond spontaneous emission to any light--matter interaction described by the local density…

Exceptional points in an optical dimer of spheres, which have the same size and operate in the spectral region of the dipolar resonance, are considered. By choosing different materials of these spheres, we can offset the radiative loss and…

Exceptional points (EPs) in quasinormal mode (QNM) spectra are non-Hermitian degeneracies at which both the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions coalesce. In this paper, we identify an EP in the scalar QNM spectrum of hairy black holes in the…
