“…In our model all of these transitions will appear naturally through the variation of a single control parameter. There are a number of physical systems that show some of these delicate spectral properties: The EP or collapse of resonances has been observed in crystals of light [22], electronic circuits [23], propagation of light in dissipative media [24,25], vacuum Rabi splitting in semiconductors cavities [26], in microwave billiards [27,28,29,30], detuned but coupled piano strings [31], and there are a number of examples drawn from electronparamagnetic resonance [32], and solid state NMR [9]. It also may appear in many theoretical models: e.g., describing the decay of superdeformed nuclei [33], phase transitions and avoided level crossings [34,35,36], coupling of bound states to open decay channels [37], geomagnetic polarity reversal [38], tunneling between quantum dots [39,40], optical microcavity [41], vibrational surface modes [42], and in the context of the crossing of two Coulomb blockade resonances [43].…”
