Although people have already artificially formed parity--time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry with gain and loss in a balanced manner, it is still a defect that the gain is restricted to semi--classical but not full quantum. Here we propose and…

We develop a dissipative extension of classical mechanics based on a complex, and more generally quaternionic, action principle that endows every classical system with an intrinsic environment. Decomposing the action into conservative and…
