A short resume is given about the nature of exceptional points (EPs) followed by discussions about their ubiquitous occurrence in a great variety of physical problems. EPs feature in classical as well as in quantum mechanical problems. They are associated with symmetry breaking for ${\cal PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians, where a great number of experiments have been performed in particular in optics, and to an increasing extent in atomic and molecular physics. EPs are involved in quantum phase transition and quantum chaos, they produce dramatic effects in multichannel scattering, specific time dependence and more. In nuclear physics they are associated with instabilities and continuum problems. Being spectral singularities they also affect approximation schemes.

Compositeness of near-threshold eigenstates with Coulomb plus short-range interactions
The compositeness of near-threshold eigenstates with Coulomb plus short-range forces is determined solely by the Coulomb scattering length, effective range, and Bohr radius, with the Coulomb interaction qualitatively ...

Two flavor neutrino oscillations in presence of non-Hermitian dynamics
A density matrix approach to non-Hermitian two-flavor neutrino oscillations shows steady-state probabilities not necessarily 1/2, indicating non-Markovian behavior.
