• Title: Exceptional points and exponential sensitivity for periodically driven Lindblad equations
• Authors: Jonas Larson and Sofia Qvarfort
• Abstract summary: We analyze the system using both adiabatic diagonalization and numerical simulations of the time-evolution. We show how the presence of exceptional points affects the system evolution, leading to a rapid dephasing at these points and a staircase-like loss of coherence. In the Floquet analysis, we map the time-dependent Liouvillian to a non-Hermitian Floquet Hamiltonian and analyze its spectrum.

• Abstract: In this contribution to the memorial issue of G\"oran Lindblad, we investigate the periodically driven Lindblad equation for a two-level system. We analyze the system using both adiabatic diagonalization and numerical simulations of the time-evolution, as well as Floquet theory. Adiabatic diagonalization reveals the presence of exceptional points in the system, which depend on the system parameters. We show how the presence of these exceptional points affects the system evolution, leading to a rapid dephasing at these points and a staircase-like loss of coherence. This phenomenon can be experimentally observed by measuring, for example, the population inversion. We also observe that the presence of exceptional points seems to be related to which underlying Lie algebra the system supports. In the Floquet analysis, we map the time-dependent Liouvillian to a non-Hermitian Floquet Hamiltonian and analyze its spectrum. For weak decay rates, we find a Wannier-Stark ladder spectrum accompanied by corresponding Stark-localized eigenstates. For larger decay rates, the ladders begin to dissolve, and new, less localized states emerge. Additionally, their eigenvalues are exponentially sensitive to perturbations, similar to the skin effect found in certain non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.

  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.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

• Probing many-body systems near spectral degeneracies [0.0]
  diagonal elements of the time correlation matrix are used to probe closed quantum systems that are measured at random times. This separation is strongly affected when spectral degeneracies occur, for instance, in the presence of spontaneous symmetry breaking. Probing the quantum evolution with the diagonal elements of the time correlation matrix is discussed as a general concept and tested in the case of a bosonic Josephson junction.

• Defect production due to time-dependent coupling to environment in the Lindblad equation [0.0]
  By ramping up the non-Hermitian coupling linearly in time through an exceptional point, defects are produced in much the same way as approaching a Hermitian critical point. We find that by linearly ramping up the environmental coupling in time, and going beyond the steady-state solution of the Liouvillian, the defect density scales linearly with the speed of the drive for all cases.

  We present Floquet analysis of a prototypical qubit whose drive or dissipator strengths are varied periodically. We find that periodic modulations lead to EP lines at small dissipator strengths, and a rich EP structure in the parameter space. Our results show that extending Lindblad Liouvillians to the Floquet domain is a new, potentially preferred route to accessing exceptional points.
