We address the problem of coupling non-Hermitian systems, treated as fundamental rather than effective theories, to the electromagnetic field. In such theories the observables are not the $\bs{x}$ and $\bs{p}$ appearing in the Hamiltonian,…

Implementation of a two-level non-Hermitian qubit via post-selection of a three-level system has been demonstrated. The post-selection procedure, which discards quantum jump to the ground-state manifold while retaining excitations in the…
