• Abstract: We investigate the dissipative dynamics of linear and nonlinear waves in harmonic traps by means of engineered complex non-Hermitian potentials. By combining an analytical mapping between real and complex Schrödinger equations with direct numerical simulations, we show that while in the linear case the damped motion leads to the formation of a stationary state at the trap center, in the nonlinear case a static potential design alone is insufficient to ensure long-term stability. Instead, the system relaxes toward a long-lived metastable configuration that eventually undergoes decay or collapse. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a time-dependent modulation of the nonlinearity that effectively converts these metastable states into robust non-equilibrium stationary states. This approach establishes a general strategy for controlling nonlinear waves in non-Hermitian systems, with potential applications in photonics and Bose--Einstein condensates.
