Non-Hermitian singularities are ubiquitous in non-conservative open systems. These singularities are often points of measure zero in the eigenspectrum of the system which make them difficult to access without careful engineering. Despite…

Quantum computing's potential for exponential speedup is fundamentally limited by decoherence, a phenomenon arising from environmental interactions. Non-Hermitian quantum mechanics, particularly $PT$-symmetric systems, offers a novel…
Subskin modes are distinct from conventional skin modes as they localize not at the system's edge but rather below the edge. Unlike skin modes, where a substantial number of them can accumulate at the boundaries of a system due to the…
