• Abstract summary: We extend the notion of nonreciprocity to unidirectional bosonic transport in systems with a time-reversal symmetric Hamiltonian. In contrast to standard nonreciprocity, this unidirectional transport manifests when the mode quadratures are resolved with respect to an external reference phase. Our work opens up new avenues for signal routing and quantum-limited amplification in bosonic systems.

• Abstract: Nonreciprocity means that the transmission of a signal depends on its direction of propagation. Despite vastly different platforms and underlying working principles, the realisations of nonreciprocal transport in linear, time-independent systems rely on Aharonov-Bohm interference among several pathways and require breaking time-reversal symmetry. Here we extend the notion of nonreciprocity to unidirectional bosonic transport in systems with a time-reversal symmetric Hamiltonian by exploiting interference between beamsplitter (excitation preserving) and two-mode-squeezing (excitation non-preserving) interactions. In contrast to standard nonreciprocity, this unidirectional transport manifests when the mode quadratures are resolved with respect to an external reference phase. Hence we dub this phenomenon quadrature nonreciprocity. First, we experimentally demonstrate it in the minimal system of two coupled nanomechanical modes orchestrated by optomechanical interactions. Next, we develop a theoretical framework to characterise the class of networks exhibiting quadrature nonreciprocity based on features of their particle-hole graphs. In addition to unidirectionality, these networks can exhibit an even-odd pairing between collective quadratures, which we confirm experimentally in a four-mode system, and an exponential end-to-end gain in the case of arrays of cavities. Our work opens up new avenues for signal routing and quantum-limited amplification in bosonic systems.

  We study the geometric phases acquired by a paradigmatic setup: a transmon coupled to a superconductor resonating cavity. In the dissipative model, the non-unitary effects arise from dephasing, relaxation, and decay of the transmon coupled to its environment. Our approach enables a comparison of the geometric phases obtained in these models, leading to a thorough understanding of the corrections introduced by the presence of the environment.

  We show broadband nonreciprocal photon transmission in the emphreversed-dissipation regime. In the reversed-dissipation regime, the nonreciprocal bandwidth is no longer limited by the mechanical mode linewidth. We find that the direction of the unidirectional and chiral energy transfer could be reversed by changing the emphparity of the 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.

  We investigate a quantum system simultaneously exposed to two structured reservoirs. We employ a numerically exact quasi-2D tensor network combining both diagonal and off-diagonal system-reservoir interactions with a twofold memory for continuous and discrete retardation effects. As a possible example, we study the non-Markovian interplay between discrete photonic feedback and structured acoustic phononovian modes, resulting in emerging inter-reservoir correlations and long-living population trapping within an initially-excited two-level system.
