• Abstract: Any system of coupled oscillators may be characterized by its spectrum of resonance frequencies (or eigenfrequencies), which can be tuned by varying the system's parameters. The relationship between control parameters and the eigenfrequency spectrum is central to a range of applications. However, fundamental aspects of this relationship remain poorly understood. For example, if the controls are varied along a path that returns to its starting point (i.e., around a "loop"), the system's spectrum must return to itself. In systems that are Hermitian (i.e., lossless and reciprocal) this process is trivial, and each resonance frequency returns to its original value. However, in non-Hermitian systems, where the eigenfrequencies are complex, the spectrum may return to itself in a topologically non-trivial manner, a phenomenon known as spectral flow. The spectral flow is determined by how the control loop encircles degeneracies, and this relationship is well understood for $N=2$ (where $N$ is the number of oscillators in the system). Here we extend this description to arbitrary $N$. We show that control loops generically produce braids of eigenfrequencies, and for $N>2$ these braids form a non-Abelian group which reflects the non-trivial geometry of the space of degeneracies. We demonstrate these features experimentally for $N=3$ using a cavity optomechanical system.
