Lossy quantum systems can display fascinating behaviors around singularities known as exceptional points in their complex eigenvalue spaces. Interest in these systems was ignited over two decades ago when Carl Bender and Stefan Boettcher—a LANL Director’s Postdoctoral Fellow at the time—pointed out that many features of conventional lossless quantum systems, such as real operator eigenvalues, could be recovered in lossy systems exhibiting parity- and time-reversal (ΡΤ) symmetry.
