Summary: Non-Hermitian systems with complex energies, hosting topological structures like links or knots, have been experimentally realized using a trapped ion. Through non-Hermitian absorption spectroscopy, the complex eigenenergies of a two-band non-Hermitian model exhibiting unlink, unknot, or Hopf link topological structures are measured, showcasing the possibility of exploring various complex-energy properties in non-Hermitian quantum systems.
