A short resume is given about the nature of exceptional points (EPs) followed by discussions about their ubiquitous occurrence in a great variety of physical problems. EPs feature in classical as well as in quantum mechanical problems. They are associated with symmetry breaking for ${\cal PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians, where a great number of experiments have been performed in particular in optics, and to an increasing extent in atomic and molecular physics. EPs are involved in quantum phase transition and quantum chaos, they produce dramatic effects in multichannel scattering, specific time dependence and more. In nuclear physics they are associated with instabilities and continuum problems. Being spectral singularities they also affect approximation schemes.

  1. Kubo-Martin-Schwinger conditions for non-Hermitian systems

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Positivity of the biorthogonal Gibbs functional characterizes quasi-Hermiticity for diagonalisable non-Hermitian operators with real spectra, and the resulting state satisfies the three analytic KMS conditions.

  2. Kubo-Martin-Schwinger conditions for non-Hermitian systems

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    For any diagonalisable non-Hermitian H with real spectrum, the biorthogonal Gibbs functional satisfies positivity of ω_bi(A†A) for all A if and only if H is quasi-Hermitian.

  3. Compositeness of near-threshold eigenstates with Coulomb plus short-range interactions

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The compositeness of near-threshold eigenstates with Coulomb plus short-range forces is determined solely by the Coulomb scattering length, effective range, and Bohr radius, with the Coulomb interaction qualitatively ...

  4. Trajectories of Critical Unstable Qubits in and on the Bloch Sphere

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Critical unstable qubits exhibit indefinite anharmonic oscillations and coherence-decoherence cycles in a co-decaying frame, with first-time explicit geometric constructions for pure and mixed state trajectories on th...

  5. Stochastic unravelings for Heisenberg picture and trace-nonpreserving dynamics

    quant-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The paper introduces a general framework extending piecewise-deterministic unravelings to arbitrary trace-nonpreserving master equations requiring only positivity and Hermiticity of the dynamics.

  6. Two flavor neutrino oscillations in presence of non-Hermitian dynamics

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A density matrix approach to non-Hermitian two-flavor neutrino oscillations shows steady-state probabilities not necessarily 1/2, indicating non-Markovian behavior.

  7. Black hole spectroscopy: from theory to experiment

    gr-qc 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    A review summarizing the state of the art in black hole quasinormal modes, ringdown waveform modeling, current LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observations, and prospects for LISA and next-generation detectors.
