Abstract
We study a general one-mode non-Hermitian quadratic Hamiltonian that does not exhibit -symmetry. By means of an algebraic method we determine the conditions for the existence of real eigenvalues as well as the location of the exceptional points. We also put forward an algebraic alternative to the generalized Bogoliubov transformation that enables one to convert the quadratic operator into a simpler form in terms of the original creation and annihilation operators. We carry out a similar analysis of a two-mode oscillator that consists of two identical one-mode oscillators coupled by a quadratic term.
