Non-Hermitian systems with parity-time symmetry have been found to exhibit real spectra of eigenvalues, indicating a balance between the loss and gain. However, such a balance is not only dependent on the magnitude of loss and gain, but…

Models based on non-Hermitian Hamiltonians can exhibit a range of surprising and potentially useful phenomena. Physical realizations typically involve couplings to sources of incoherent gain and loss; this is problematic in quantum…
