• Abstract: We consider non-Hermitian tight-binding one-dimensional Hamiltonians and show that imposing a certain symmetry causes all eigenvalues to pair up and the corresponding eigenstates to coalesce in pairs. This Pairwise Coalescence (PC) is an enhanced version of an exceptional point -- the complete spectrum pairs up, not just one pair of eigenstates. The symmetry is that of reflection excluding the central two sites, and allowing flipping of non-reciprocal hoppings (``generalized off-center reflection symmetry''). Two simple examples of PC exist in the literature -- our construction encompasses these examples and extends them to a vast class of Hamiltonians. We study several families of such Hamiltonians, extend to cases of full-spectrum higher-order coalescences, and show how the PC point corresponds to amplified non-orthogonality of the eigenstates and enhanced loss of norm in time evolution.

  We show topologically ordered states in the complex-valued spectra of non-Hermitian systems. These arise when the distinctive exceptional points in the energy surfaces of such models are annihilated. We illustrate the characteristics of the topologically protected states in a non-Hermitian two-band model.

We implement a Floquet Hamiltonian of a single qubit with anti-$mathcalPT$ symmetry by periodically driving a dissipative quantum system of a single trapped ion.

  We find that eigenvalues can be purely real in a certain range of parameters, even in the absence of parity and time-reversal symmetry. We clarify that a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian whose eigenvalues are purely real can be mapped to a Hermitian Hamiltonian which inherits the symmetries of the original Hamiltonian.
