Leírás: 

Non-hermitian quantum mechanics may sound a bit like science fiction at first, but has provided us a plethora of interesting phenomena, investigated both theoretically and experimentally. These include spontaneous PT-symmetry breaking, non-unitary dynamics, unidirectional invisibility, complex Bloch oscillations and even topological effects, to mention a few. While the eigenvalues of a non-hermitian Hamiltonian can still be interpreted in terms of energy bands, already the meaning of its eigenvectors cannot be treated conventionally as they are not orthogonal, and therefore possess finite overlap already in the absence of any additional perturbation. Particularly important in this context are exceptional points, where the complex spectrum becomes gapless. These can be regarded as the non-hermitian counterpart of conventional quantum critical points. At exceptional points, two (or more) complex eigenvalues and eigenstates coalesce, which then no longer form a complete basis. Encircling, manipulating and passing through exceptional points thus have no obvious analogue in conventional hermitian quantum systems.

The goal of this thesis is to investigate few and many-body quantum systems in the presence of non-hermitian terms in the Hamiltonian around exceptional points and lines.
