• Abstract: Non-Hermitian systems with parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry give rise to exceptional points (EPs) with exceptional properties that arise due to the coalescence of eigenvectors. Such systems have been extensively explored in the classical domain, where second or higher order EPs have been proposed or realized. In contrast, quantum information studies of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems have been confined to systems with a two-dimensional Hilbert space. Here by using a single-photon interferometry setup, we simulate quantum dynamics of a four-dimensional $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric system across a fourth-order exceptional point. By tracking the coherent, non-unitary evolution of the density matrix of the system in $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry unbroken and broken regions, we observe the entropy dynamics for both the entire system, and the gain and loss subsystems. Our setup is scalable to the higher-dimensional $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems, and our results point towards the rich dynamics and critical properties.

  We analyze models governed by the replicator equation of evolutionary game theory and related Lotka-Volterra systems of population dynamics. We study the emergence of exceptional points in two cases: (a) when the governing symmetry properties are tied to global properties of the models, and (b) when these symmetries emerge locally around stationary states.

In two dimensions we obtain good estimations of the ground-state energies, comparable to results obtained from more conventional methods.

  Non-Hermitian systems with parity-time reversal ($mathcalPT$) or anti-$mathcalPT$ symmetry have attracted a wide range of interest owing to their unique characteristics and counterintuitive phenomena. We implement a Floquet Hamiltonian of a single qubit with anti-$mathcalPT$ symmetry by periodically driving a dissipative quantum system of a single trapped ion.

  Parity-time symmetric systems are governed by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with exceptional-point (EP) degeneracies. Here, we obtain the $mathcalPT$-threshold for a one-dimensional, finite Kitaev chain. In particular, for an even chain with zero on-site potential, we find a re-entrant $mathcalPT$-symmetric phase bounded by second-order EP contours.

• Searching for exceptional points and inspecting non-contractivity of trace distance in (anti-)$\mathcal{PT}\!-$symmetric systems [0.0]
  Non-Hermitian systems with parity-time ($mathcalPT$) symmetry and anti-$mathcalPT$ symmetry give rise to exceptional points (EPs) We propose a powerful and easily computable tool, based on the Hilbert-Schmidt speed (HSS), which does not require the diagonalization of the evolved density matrix. We find that the trace distance, a measure of distinguishability of two arbitrary quantum states, may be non-contractive under the non-Hermitian evolution of the system.

  We focus on the dynamical features of a triple-qubit system, one of which evolves under local $mathcalPT$-symmetric Hamiltonian. A new kind of abnormal dynamic pattern in the entropy evolution process is identified, which presents a parameter-dependent stable state. Our work reveals the distinctive dynamic features in the triple-qubit $mathcalPT$-symmetric system and paves the way for practical quantum simulation of multi-party non-Hermitian system on quantum computers.
