Edge burst is a phenomenon in non-Hermitian quantum dynamics discovered by a recent numerical study [W.-T. Xue, et al, Phys. Rev. Lett 2, 128.120401(2022)]. It finds that a large proportion of particle loss occurs at the system boundary in…

Exceptional points, the spectral degeneracy points in the complex parameter space, are fundamental to non-Hermitian quantum systems. The dynamics of non-Hermitian systems in the presence of exceptional points differ significantly from those…
We provide classification of gapless phases in non-Hermitian systems according to two types of complex-energy gaps: point gap and line gap. We show that exceptional points, at which not only eigenenergies but also eigenstates coalesce, are…
