Title: Creating and controlling exceptional points of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians via homodyne Lindbladian invariance
Authors: Fabrizio Minganti, Dolf Huybrechts, Cyril Elouard, Franco Nori and Ievgen I. Arkhipov
Abstract summary: The Exceptional Points (EPs) of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians (NHHs) are spectral degeneracies associated with coalescing eigenvalues and eigenvectors. These EPs can be generated experimentally in open quantum systems, evolving under a Lindblad equation. We exploit this mechanism to create and control EPs solely by changing the measurement we postselect on.

Abstract: The Exceptional Points (EPs) of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians (NHHs) are spectral degeneracies associated with coalescing eigenvalues and eigenvectors which are associated with remarkable dynamical properties. These EPs can be generated experimentally in open quantum systems, evolving under a Lindblad equation, by postselecting on trajectories that present no quantum jumps, such that the dynamics is ruled by a NHH. Interestingly, changing the way the information used for postselection is collected leads to different unravelings, i.e., different set of trajectories which average to the same Lindblad equation, but are associated with a different NHH. Here, we exploit this mechanism to create and control EPs solely by changing the measurement we postselect on. Our scheme is based on a realistic homodyne reading of the emitted leaking photons with a weak-intensity laser (a process which we call $\beta$-dyne), which we show generates a tunable NHH, that can exhibit EPs even though the system does have any in the absence of the laser. We consider a few illustrative examples pointing the dramatic effects that different postselections can have on the spectral features of the NHH, paving the road towards engineering of EPs in simple quantum systems.

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.

Lindbladian dynamics with loss of quantum jumps [4.889561507168047]
We investigate the balance-breaking dynamics by partly eliminating jumps from postselection experiments. To describe this dynamics, a non-linear Lindblad master equation (NLME) is derived from quantum trajectory method. The NLME shows significant advantages in analytical analysis over quantum trajectory method.

Fermionic approach to variational quantum simulation of Kitaev spin models [50.92854230325576]
Kitaev spin models are well known for being exactly solvable in a certain parameter regime via a mapping to free fermions. We use classical simulations to explore a novel variational ansatz that takes advantage of this fermionic representation. We also comment on the implications of our results for simulating non-Abelian anyons on quantum computers.

We study a driven qubit through the numerically exact and non-perturbative method known as the Liouville-von equation with dissipation. We propose a metric that may be used in experiments to map the regime of validity of the Lindblad equation in predicting the steady state of the driven qubit.

Liouvillian exceptional points of any order in dissipative linear bosonic systems: Coherence functions and switching between ${\cal PT}$ and anti-${\cal PT}$ symmetries [0.0]
We show that exceptional points (EPs) of open Markovian bosonic systems can be identified by the coherence and spectral functions at the steady state. These higher-order LEPs can be identified by the coherence and spectral functions at the steady state. We demonstrate that these EPs can be associated with spontaneous parity-time ($cal PT$) and anti-$cal PT$-symmetry breaking.
