Distance between exceptional points and diabolic points and its implication for the response strength of non-Hermitian systems

Exceptional points (EPs) 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, so-called diabolic points (DPs), at which only eigenen...
