- Abstract: Eigenstate coalescence in non-Hermitian systems is widely observed in diverse
scientific domains encompassing optics and open quantum systems. Recent
investigations have revealed that adiabatic encircling of exceptional points
(EPs) leads to a nontrivial Berry phase in addition to an exchange of
eigenstates. Based on these phenomena, we propose in this work an exhaustive
classification framework for EPs in non-Hermitian physical systems. In contrast
to previous classifications that only incorporate the eigenstate exchange
effect, our proposed classification gives rise to finer $\mathbb{Z}_2$
classifications depending on the presence of a $\pi$ Berry phase after the
encircling of the EPs. Moreover, by mapping arbitrary one-dimensional systems
to the adiabatic encircling of EPs, we can classify one-dimensional
non-Hermitian systems characterized by topological phase transitions involving
EPs. Applying our exceptional classification to various one-dimensional models,
such as the non-reciprocal Su--Schrieffer--Heeger (SSH) model, we exhibit the
potential for enhancing the understanding of topological phases in
non-Hermitian systems. Additionally, we address exceptional bulk-boundary
correspondence and the emergence of distinct topological boundary modes in
non-Hermitian systems.

Recent interest in exceptional points has led to re-examination of non-Hermitian generalizations of many physical models.
In such non-Hermitian systems, singular points called exceptional points (EPs) appear that are of interest for applications in super-resolution sensing systems and topological lasers.
It is found that while the existence of the EPs is due to the nonreciprocal couplings, the number, position, and order of the EPs can all be altered by the addition of the hopping amplitude gradient.
