Abstract: We investigate the effects of quantum fluctuations in a parity-time($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetric two-species Bose-Einstein Condensate(BEC). It is found that the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry, though preserved by the macroscopic condensate, can be spontaneously broken by its Bogoliubov quasi-particles under quantum fluctuations. The associated $\mathcal{PT}$-breaking transitions in the Bogoliubov spectrum can be conveniently tuned by the interaction anisotropy in spin channels and the strength of $\mathcal{PT}$ potential. In the $\mathcal{PT}$-unbroken regime, the real Bogoliubov modes are generally gapped, in contrast to the gapless phonon mode in Hermitian case. Moreover, the presence of $\mathcal{PT}$ potential is found to enhance the mean-field collapse and thereby intrigue the droplet formation after incorporating the repulsive force from quantum fluctuations. These remarkable interplay effects of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry and interaction can be directly probed in cold atoms experiments, which shed light on related quantum phenomena in general $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems.

Quantum chaos in PT symmetric quantum systems [2.2530496464901106]
We study the interplay between $mathcalPT$-symmetry and quantum chaos in a non-Hermitian dynamical system. We find that the complex level spacing ratio can distinguish between all three phases. In the phases with $mathcalPT$-symmetry, the OTOC exhibits behaviour akin to what is observed in the Hermitian system.

Experimentally-realizable $\mathcal{PT}$ phase transitions in reflectionless quantum scattering [0.0]
A class of above-barrier quantum-scattering problems is shown to provide an experimentally-accessible platform for studying $mathcalPT$-symmetric Schr"odinger equations. These potentials are one-dimensional, inverted, and unstable and have the form $V(x) = - lvert xrvertp$ ($p>0$), terminated at a finite length or energy to a constant value as $xto pminfty$. The signature of unbroken $mathcalPT$ symmetry is the existence of reflectionless propagating

Quantum squeezing and sensing with pseudo anti-parity-time symmetry [0.0]
We construct a quantum pseudo-anti-$mathcalPT$ symmetry in a two-mode bosonic system without involving Langevin noises. We show that the spontaneous pseudo-$mathcalAPT$ symmetry breaking leads to an exceptional point. Such dramatic changes of squeezing factors and quantum dynamics near the exceptional point are utilized for ultra-precision quantum sensing.

$\PT$ Symmetry and Renormalisation in Quantum Field Theory [62.997667081978825]
Quantum systems governed by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with $PT$ symmetry are special in having real energy eigenvalues bounded below and unitary time evolution. We show how $PT$ symmetry may allow interpretations that evade ghosts and instabilities present in an interpretation of the theory within a Hermitian framework.
