• Authors: Debashree Chowdhury, Ayan Banerjee, Awadhesh Narayan
• Abstract summary: We show that non-Hermitian (NH) loss/gain can generate an exceptional HW effect in double Weyl-semimetals. The symmetry associated with the DWSMs is changed, leading to four exceptional points, among which two are degenerate. The combined action of the NH warping and driving parameters leads to notable effects, including merging and tuning of exceptional points.

• Abstract: Hexagonal warping (HW) in three-dimensional topological insulators is, by now, well-known. We show that non-Hermitian (NH) loss/gain can generate an exceptional HW effect in double Weyl-semimetals (DWSM). This unique feature of DWSMs has distinctive effects on Fermi surface topology. Importantly, in the presence of such a $k^3$ spin orbit coupling mimicking term, the symmetry associated with the DWSMs is changed, leading to four exceptional points, among which two are degenerate. Introducing a driving field removes this degeneracy. The combined action of the NH warping and driving parameters leads to notable effects, including merging and tuning of exceptional points. We analyze the topological nature of the generated exceptional contours by evaluating several topological invariants, such as winding number, vorticity, and NH Berry curvature. We hope that our theoretical results would initiate possible experiments exploring NH HW effects.

  We propose two schemes for generating Wigner-negative entangled states unconditionally in mechanical resonators. We show analytically that both schemes stabilize a Wigner-negative entangled state that combines the entanglement of a two-mode squeezed vacuum with a cubic nonlinearity. We then perform extensive numerical simulations to test the robustness of Wigner-negative entanglement attained by approximate CPE states stabilized in the presence of thermal decoherence.

  We examine how higher-order Weyl semimetals are impacted by NH perturbations. New exceptional points inside the bulk can be created and annihilated, allowing us to manipulate their number. For specific system parameters, the surface of NHHOWS behaves as a Dirac phase with linear dispersion or a Luttinger phase with a quadratic dispersion.

• Symmetry-protected exceptional and nodal points in non-Hermitian systems [0.0]
  We show that NH systems may host two types of degeneracies, namely, non-defective EPs and ordinary (Hermitian) nodal points. We demonstrate that certain discrete symmetries, namely parity-time, parity-particle-hole, and pseudo-Hermitian symmetry, guarantee the occurrence of both defective and non-defective EPs.

  Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states. We implement the one-dimensional kicked Ising model which exhibits non-local Majorana edge modes (MEMs) with $mathbbZ$ parity symmetry. MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism.
