Exceptional points (EPs), a unique feature of non-Hermitian systems, represent degeneracies in non-Hermitian operators that likely do not occur in Hermitian systems. Nevertheless, unlike its fermionic counterpart, a Hermitian bosonic Kitaev…
Exceptional point (EP) denotes the non-Hermitian degeneracy, in which both eigenvalues and eigenstates become identical. By the conventional local Markovian master equation, EP can be constructed by parity-time (PT) or anti-PT symmetry in a…
