- Abstract: We review some recent work on the occurrence of coalescing eigenstates at
exceptional points in non-Hermitian systems and their influence on physical
quantities. We particularly focus on quantum dynamics near exceptional points
in open quantum systems, which are described by an outwardly Hermitian
Hamiltonian that gives rise to a non-Hermitian effective description after one
projects out the environmental component of the system. We classify the
exceptional points into two categories: those at which two or more resonance
states coalesce and those at which at least one resonance and the partnering
anti-resonance coalesce (possibly including virtual states as well), and we
introduce several simple models to explore the dynamics for both of these
types. In the latter case of coalescing resonance and anti-resonance states, we
show that the presence of the continuum threshold plays a strong role in
shaping the dynamics, in addition to the exceptional point itself. We also
briefly discuss the special case in which the exceptional point appears
directly at the threshold.

Liouvillian exceptional points often have distinct properties compared to their counterparts in non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.
Since the Liouvillian exceptional points widely exist in quantum systems such as the atomic vapours, superconducting qubits, and ultracold ions and atoms, they have received increasing amount of attention of late.

Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement.
We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

In periodically-driven quantum systems, resonances can induce exotic nonequilibrium behavior and new phases of matter without static analog.
We report on the emergence of fractional and integer resonances in a broad class of many-body Hamiltonians with a modulated hopping with a frequency that is either a fraction or an integer of the on-site interaction.
Our findings reveal novel features of the nonequilibrium quantum many-body system, such as the coexistence of Floquet prethermalization and localization.
