Topological Phases of Non-Hermitian Systems

While Hermiticity lies at the heart of quantum mechanics, recent experimental advances in controlling dissipation have brought about unprecedented flexibility in engineering non-Hermitian Hamiltonians in open classical and quantum systems. Examples include parity-time-symmetric optical systems with...
