We present a general theory of spontaneous emission at exceptional points (EPs)---exotic degeneracies in non-Hermitian systems. Our theory extends beyond spontaneous emission to any light--matter interaction described by the local density…

Non-Hermitian systems can have peculiar degeneracies of eigenstates called exceptional points (EPs). An EP of $n$ degenerate states is said to have order $n$, and higher-order EPs (HEPs) with $n \ge 3$ exhibit intrinsic order-scaling…
