Observation of perfectly-chiral exceptional point via bound state in the continuum

Z Zhou, B Jia, N Wang, X Wang, Y Li - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Chirality is one of the fundamentals of nature with strong ties to asymmetry. In wave physics,
it is conventionally characterized by asymmetric scattering of circularly polarized waves but …

Realizing exceptional points of any order in the presence of symmetry

S Sayyad, FK Kunst - Physical Review Research, 2022 - APS
Exceptional points (EPs) appear as degeneracies in the spectrum of non-Hermitian matrices
at which the eigenvectors coalesce. In general, an EP of order n may find room to emerge if …

Pseudo-Hermiticity protects the energy-difference conservation in the scattering
