• Abstract: Non-Hermitian degeneracies are classified as defective and nondefective exceptional points~(EP). While in defective EPs, both eigenvalues and eigenenergies coalesce, nondefective EPs are characterized merely by the occurrence of degeneracies in their eigenvalues. It is also known that all degeneracies are either symmetry-protected or accidental. In this paper, I prove that anti-unitary symmetries protect all nondefective twofold EPs. By developing a 2D non-Hermitian tight-binding model, I have demonstrated that these symmetries are composite of various symmetry operations such as discrete or spatial point-group symmetries and Wick's rotation in the non-Hermitian parameter space. Introducing these composite symmetries, I present the protection of nondefective EPs in various parameter regimes of my model. This work paves the way to stabilizing nondefective EPs and offers a new perspective on understanding non-Hermitian band crossings.

  We propose a loss function that informs the network about Lie point symmetries in the same way that PINN models try to enforce the underlying PDE through a loss function. Our symmetry loss ensures that the infinitesimal generators of the Lie group conserve the PDE solutions. Empirical evaluations indicate that the inductive bias introduced by the Lie point symmetries of the PDEs greatly boosts the sample efficiency of PINNs.

  In symmetry-protected topological systems, symmetries are responsible for protecting surface states. By engineering losses that break the symmetry protecting a topological Hermitian phase, we show that a new genuinely non-Hermitian symmetry emerges. We classify the systems in terms of the (non-Hermitian) symmetries that are present and calculate the corresponding topological invariants.

  We show that NH systems may host two types of degeneracies, namely, non-defective EPs and ordinary (Hermitian) nodal points. We demonstrate that certain discrete symmetries, namely parity-time, parity-particle-hole, and pseudo-Hermitian symmetry, guarantee the occurrence of both defective and non-defective EPs.

We implement the one-dimensional kicked Ising model which exhibits non-local Majorana edge modes (MEMs) with $mathbbZ$ parity symmetry. MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism.

  Non-Hermitian systems with parity-time ($mathcalPT$) symmetry and anti-$mathcalPT$ symmetry give rise to exceptional points (EPs) We propose a powerful and easily computable tool, based on the Hilbert-Schmidt speed (HSS), which does not require the diagonalization of the evolved density matrix. We find that the trace distance, a measure of distinguishability of two arbitrary quantum states, may be non-contractive under the non-Hermitian evolution of the system.
