“…It also shares some common features with the super-radiance and superconducting transitions [Cho et al, 2005], the synchronization of clocks described by C. Huygens, the tuning of piano strings [Weinreich, 1977] and the collective phase transitions described for non-linear systems [Strogatz, 2012]. Indeed, a number of classical oscillatory systems have also shown exceptional points in the spectrum and their associated dynamical phase transition [Anderson, 1954, Celardo and Kaplan, 2009, Rotter and Bird, 2015, Domínguez-Rocha et al, 2020 and they have been exploited in a wide range of innovative applications that include, the sub-wave length field control [Bustos-Marún et al, 2014], energy harvesting and energy management [Li et al, 2019, Fernández-Alcázar et al, 2020, Fernández-Alcázar et al, 2021, among many others. All those cases contain, often hidden behind FGR-like approximations, the thermodynamic limit required by Anderson.…”
