• Abstract: Non-Hermitian systems display remarkable response effects that reflect a variety of distinct spectral scenarios, such as exceptional points where the eigensystem becomes defective. However, present frameworks treat the different scenarios as separate cases, following the singular mathematical change between the spectral decompositions from one scenario to another. This not only complicates the coherent description near the spectral singularities where the response qualitatively changes, but also impedes the application to practical systems. Here we develop a general response theory of non-Hermitian systems that uniformly applies across all spectral scenarios. We unravel this response by formulating uniform expansions of the spectral quantization condition and Green's function, where both expansions exclusively involve directly calculable data from the Hamiltonian. This data smoothly varies with external parameters as spectral singularities are approached, and nevertheless captures the qualitative differences of the response in these scenarios. We furthermore present two direct applications of this framework. Firstly, we determine the precise conditions for spectral degeneracies of geometric multiplicity greater than unity, as well as the perturbative behavior around these cases. Secondly, we formulate a hierarchy of spectral response strengths that varies continuously across all parameter space, and thereby also reliably determines the response strength of exceptional points. Finally, we demonstrate both generally and in concrete examples that the previously inaccessible scenarios of higher geometric multiplicity result in unique variants of super-Lorentzian response. Our approach widens the scope of non-Hermitian response theory to capture all spectral scenarios on an equal and uniform footing.

• Spectral chaos bounds from scaling theory of maximally efficient quantum-dynamical scrambling [49.1574468325115]
  A key conjecture about the evolution of complex quantum systems towards an ergodic steady state, known as scrambling, is that this process acquires universal features when it is most efficient. We develop a single- parameter scaling theory for the spectral statistics in this scenario, which embodies exact self-similarity of the spectral correlations along the complete scrambling dynamics. We establish that scaling predictions are matched by a privileged process, and serve as bounds for other dynamical scrambling scenarios, allowing one to quantify inefficient or incomplete scrambling on all timescales.

  We examine in a systematic way the most relevant orderings of pure kinetic Hamiltonians for five different position-dependent mass profiles. As a result of the non-commutativity between momentum and position operators, a diversity of effective potentials is generated. We obtain analytically the full-spectrum of energies and solutions in the twenty-five cases considered.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

We find that indeed the GPR gives reliable results which are in agreement with direct calculations of these parameters using quantum chemical methods.
