Probing nonorthogonality of eigenfunctions and its impact on transport through open systems

The degree of nonorthogonality of eigenstates of non-Hermitian systems governs nuclear scattering, electronic conductance, and wave propagation in disordered media. Here, we determine the impact of non-Hermiticity upon eigenstates inside an open random cavity from measurements of the modal overlap m...
