Degenerate quantum eigenspaces can support substantial changes in nodal geometry at fixed energy. We show that, for the two-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator, this restructuring is organized by the Hermite-constrained algebraic…

Exceptional points are non-Hermitian degeneracies in open quantum and wave systems at which not only eigenenergies but also the corresponding eigenstates coalesce. This is in strong contrast to degeneracies known from conservative systems,…

Capital to topological insulators, the bulk-boundary correspondence ties a topological invariant computed from the bulk (extended) states with those at the boundary, which are hence robust to disorder. Here we put forward an ordering unique…

We note that the non-orthogonality of states and their coincidence at the degeneracy point are both admitted by nonlinear Hermitian systems and linear non-Hermitian systems. These striking characteristics motivate us to re-investigate the…

Eigenmode coalescence imparts remarkable properties to non-hermitian time evolution, culminating in a purely non-hermitian spectral degeneracy known as an exceptional point (EP). Here, we revisit time evolution at the EP and classify…
