Standard spectroscopic protocols model the dynamics of open quantum systems as a superposition of isolated, exponentially decaying eigenmodes. This paradigm fails fundamentally at Exceptional Points, where the eigenbasis collapses and the response becomes dominated by non-diagonalizable Jordan blocks. We resolve this ambiguity by introducing a geometric framework based on \textit{Dissipative Mixed Hodge Modules} (DMHM). By replacing the scalar linewidth with a topological \textit{Weight Filtration}, we derive ``Weight Filtered Spectroscopy'' (WFS)--a protocol that spatially separates decay channels based on the nilpotency rank of the Liouvillian. We demonstrate that WFS acts as a dissipative x-ray, quantifying dissipative leakage in molecular polaritons and certifying topological isolation in Non-Hermitian Aharonov-Bohm rings. This establishes that topological protection persists as an algebraic invariant even when the spectral gap is closed.

Open Quantum Systems as Regular Holonomic D-Modules: The Mixed Hodge Structure of Spectral Singularities
The geometric description of open quantum systems via the Quantum Geometric Tensor (QGT) traditionally relies on the assumption that the physical states form a differentiable vector bundle over the parameter manifold. This framework becomes ill-posed at spectral singularities, such as Exceptional Points, where the eigen-bundle admits no local trivialization due to dimension reduction. In this work, we resolve this obstruction by demonstrating that the family of Liouvillian superoperators L(k) over a complex parameter manifold X canonically defines a \textbf{regular holonomic DX-module} M. By identifying the physical coherence order with the Hodge filtration and the decay rate hierarchy with the \textbf{Kashiwara filtration}, we show that the open quantum system underlies a \textbf{Mixed Hodge Module (MHM)} structure in the sense of Saito.
This identification allows us to apply the \textbf{Grothendieck six-functor formalism} rigorously to dissipative dynamics. We prove that the divergence corresponds to a non-trivial cohomology class in ExtDX1, thereby regularizing the Quantum Geometric Tensor without ad-hoc cutoffs. Specifically, the ``singular component'' of the Complete QGT arises as the residue of the connection on the \textbf{Brieskorn lattice} associated with the vanishing cycles functor.
The rigorous description of Conical Intersections (CIs) remains the central challenge of non-adiabatic quantum chemistry. While the ``Yarkony Seam'' -- the (3N−8)-dimensional manifold of degeneracy -- is well-understood geometrically, its accurate characterization by high-level electronic structure methods is plagued by numerical instabilities. Specifically, standard Coupled Cluster (CC) theory suffers from root bifurcations near Ground State CIs, rendering the ``Gold Standard'' of chemistry inapplicable where it is needed most. Here, we present \textbf{QuMorpheus}, an open-source computational package that resolves these singularities by implementing a topological framework based on Dissipative Mixed Hodge Modules (DMHM) [P. Saurabh, arXiv:2512.19487 (2025)]. By algorithmically mapping the CC polynomial equations to a spectral sheaf, we compute the exact Monodromy (μ) invariants of the intersection. We demonstrate that this automated algebraic geometry approach correctly identifies the physical ground state topology in the Köhn-Tajti model and resolves the intersection seams of realistic chemical systems, including Ethylene and the Chloronium ion (H2Cl+). Furthermore, we apply QuMorpheus to the photoisomerization of Previtamin D, proving that the experimentally observed Woodward-Hoffmann selection rules are a direct consequence of a topological ``Monodromy Wall'' (μ=1,γ=π) rather than purely energetic barriers. This establishes a general software solution to the ``Yarkony Problem,'' enabling the robust, automated mapping of global intersection seams in complex molecular systems. The topological stability of these intersections allows for the control protocols discussed in Ref.[P. Saurabh, Submitted to Phys. Rev. X (2025)].
Dissipatively stabilized cat qubits are promising for fault-tolerant quantum information processing, yet their non-Hermitian (NH) spectral topology remains largely unexplored. We uncover rich Liouvillian exceptional structures in a cat-qubit mode stabilized by two-photon drive (TPD) and engineered two-photon loss, in the presence of single-photon drive (SPD) and single-photon loss. In the parameter space spanned by SPD strength and detuning, we identify both second- and third-order Liouvillian exceptional points (LEP2s and LEP3s). Remarkably, we show that the phase θ of TPD provides coherent control over these exceptional points: the LEP3 diverges and vanishes at θ=π/2, while remaining stable and tunable elsewhere. We introduce a topological invariant based on the winding number of a resultant vector, which robustly identifies LEP3s with unit topological charge. Full master-equation simulations confirm that the system dynamics remains confined to the logical subspace with near-unity fidelity. Our results bridge dissipative stabilization, phase-coherent control, and NH topology, demonstrating controllable higher-order LEPs in open quantum systems.
Driven-dissipative quantum systems can exhibit robust transport and amplification in topological regimes, yet the connection between topology and the extent of correlations remains largely unexplored. In this work, we develop a general framework that links topological phases in driven-dissipative systems to bosonic correlations via the singular value decomposition (SVD). In essence, we claim that non-Hermitian topology in quadratic Liouvillians is directly encoded in steady-state correlations, providing an intrinsic characterization of topology without external probes. We show that topological amplification induces disorder-robust long-range order (LRO) in steady-state correlations at fixed frequency, establishing frequency-resolved correlations as direct signatures of non-Hermitian topological phases. We introduce a vector-valued topological invariant that captures the total number of singular-value gap closings across the frequency axis, extending the concept of adiabatic deformation from topological insulators to the case of topological phases of quadratic Liouvillians. Within this framework, we further demonstrate that the spatial structure of equal-time correlations encodes global topological information, manifested as a Gaussian spatial decay with distance in the topological phase, in contrast to the exponential decay characteristic of trivial phases. These findings open new avenues for quantum sensing and correlation engineering in non-Hermitian systems, with feasible implementations in platforms such as trapped ions and superconducting circuits.
Exceptional points (EPs), indicative of parity-time (PT) symmetry breaking, play a central role in non-Hermitian physics, yet most studies begin from deliberately engineered effective Hamiltonians whose parameters are tuned to exhibit exceptional behavior. In realistic open quantum systems, however, dynamics are governed by Lindblad superoperators whose spectral structure is high-dimensional, symmetry-constrained, and not obviously reducible to minimal non-Hermitian models. A general framework for discovering exceptional dynamics directly from microscopic dissipative models has been lacking. Here we introduce a symmetry-resolved approach for identifying and characterizing exceptional points directly from the full Liouvillian generator. Correlated dissipation induces graph symmetries that decompose Liouville space into low-dimensional invariant sectors, within which minimal non-Hermitian blocks govern the onset of EPs and PT-breaking behavior. We further introduce a numerical diagnostic - the exceptional-point strength E - based on eigenvector conditioning, which quantifies proximity to defective dynamics without requiring analytic reduction. Applied to tight-binding models with correlated dephasing and relaxation, the method reproduces analytically predicted exceptional seams and reveals universal scaling of E near EP manifolds. More broadly, the framework enables systematic discovery of hidden exceptional structure in complex or high-dimensional open systems and is naturally compatible with matrix-free and tensor-network implementations for scalable many-body applications.
Spectral degeneracies in Liouvillian generators of dissipative dynamics generically occur as exceptional points, where the corresponding non-Hermitian operator becomes nondiagonalizable. Steady states, i.e., zero modes of Liouvillians, are considered a fundamental exception to this rule since a no-go theorem excludes nondiagonalizable degeneracies there. Here, we demonstrate that the crucial issue of diverging timescales in dissipative state preparation is largely tantamount to an asymptotic approach toward the forbidden scenario of an exceptional steady state in the thermodynamic limit. With case studies ranging from NP-complete satisfiability problems encoded in a quantum master equation to the dissipative preparation of a symmetry protected topological phase, we reveal the close relation between the computational complexity of the problem at hand, and the finite size scaling toward the exceptional steady state, exemplifying both exponential and polynomial scaling. Formally treating the weight W of quantum jumps in the Lindblad master equation as a parameter, we show that exceptional steady states at the physical value W=1 may be understood as a critical point hallmarking the onset of dynamical instability.
