• Abstract: We show that interactions in quantum spin liquids can result in non-Hermitian phenomenology that differs qualitatively from mean-field expectations. We demonstrate this in two prominent cases through the effects of phonons and disorder on a Kitaev honeycomb model. Using analytic and numerical calculations, we show the generic appearance of exceptional points and rings depending on the symmetry of the system. Their existence is reflected in dynamical observables including the dynamic structure function measured in neutron scattering. The results point to new phenomenological features in realizable spin liquids that must be incorporated into the analysis of experimental data and also indicate that spin liquids could be generically stable to wider classes of perturbations.

• Topological transitions in quantum jump dynamics: Hidden exceptional points [45.58759752275849]
  Phenomena associated with exceptional points (EPs) have been extensively studied in relation to superconducting circuits. We consider a monitored three level system and find multiple EPs in the Lindbladian eigenvalues considered as functions of a counting field. We identify dynamical observables affected by these transitions and demonstrate how the underlying topology can be recovered from experimentally measured quantum jump distributions.

  We analytically study the dynamics of a solitonic vortex (SV) in a superfluid confined in a non-axisymmetric harmonic trap. The study provides a framework for analyzing the role of the trap anisotropy in the oscillation of SVs observed in recent experiments on atomic Bose and Fermi superfluids.

  We show that introduction of harmonic and spin-dependent linear potentials sufficiently validates fTWA for longer times. In particular, we focus on a finite two-dimensional system and show that at intermediate linear potential strength, the addition of a harmonic potential and spin dependence of the tilt, results in subdiffusive dynamics.

  We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder. Our work paves the way towards microscopic study and control of quantum thermalization in strongly interacting disordered spin ensembles.

  We study the physics of a magnetic molecule described by a "giant" spin with multiple $d > 2$ spin states. We derive an expression for the output modes in the dispersive regime of operation. We find that the measurement of the cavity transmission allows to uniquely determine the spin state of the qudits.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
