Dynamically Encircling Exceptional Points: Exact Evolution and Polarization State Conversion

Dynamically Encircling Exceptional Points: Exact Evolution and Polarization State Conversion

We show that a two-level non-Hermitian Hamiltonian with constant off-diagonal exchange elements can be analyzed exactly when the underlying exceptional point is perfectly encircled in the complex plane. The state evolution of this system is explicitly obtained in terms of an ensuing transfer matrix,...
