Nonorthogonality constraints in open quantum and wave systems

It is known that the squared modulus of the overlap (scalar product) of two energy eigenstates in a decaying quantum system is bounded from above by a function of the energy detuning and the individual decay rates. This is usually traced back to the positive definiteness of an appropriately defined...
