• Abstract: The intrinsic dissipation of systems into a shared reservoir introduces coherence between two systems, enabling anti-Parity-Time (anti-PT) symmetry. In this paper, we propose an anti-PT symmetric converter, consisting of a microwave cavity coupled dissipatively to a ferromagnetic sphere, which supports significant improvements in the conversion efficiency when compared to coherently coupled setups. In particular, when only the ferrite sample is driven, the strong coherence induced by the vacuum of the mediating channel leads to much stronger enhancements in the intended conversion. The enhancement is an inalienable artifact of the emergence of a long-lived, dark mode associated with a quasi-real singularity of the hybrid system. In addition, we observe considerable asymmetry in the efficiencies of microwave-to-optical and optical-to-microwave conversions, in spite of the symmetrical structure of the trilinear optomagnonic coupling stimulating both the transduction phenomena. The nonreciprocity stems from the intrinsic asymmetry in the couplings of the microwave and optical fields to the cavity-magnon network as well as the phase coupling entailed by the spatial separation.

  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.

  Inversion symmetry prevents nonlinear optical responses mediated by even-order susceptibilities in material systems for applications in nanophotonics. Here, we demonstrate induced nonlinear optical processes, namely second- and fourth-harmonic generation that are naturally forbidden in an inversion system. Our work constitutes a step forward in the direction of realizing physically forbidden nonlinear optical processes in centrosymmetric materials widely adopted for applications in integrated photonics.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
