- Authors: Amir Rahmani and Andrzej Opala and Micha{\l} Matuszewski
- Abstract summary: Recent study demonstrated that steady states of a polariton system may show a first-order dissipative phase transition with an exceptional point.
In general, the exceptional point does not correspond to the endpoint of a phase transition, but rather it is the point where stable and unstable solutions coalesce.

- Abstract: Recent study demonstrated that steady states of a polariton system may show a
first-order dissipative phase transition with an exceptional point that appears
as an endpoint of the phase boundary [R. Hanai et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 122,
185301 (2019)]. Here, we show that this phase transition is strictly related to
the stability of solutions. In general, the exceptional point does not
correspond to the endpoint of a phase transition, but rather it is the point
where stable and unstable solutions coalesce. Moreover, we show that the
transition may occur also in the weak coupling regime, which was excluded
previously. In a certain range of parameters, we demonstrate permanent
Rabi-like oscillations between light and matter fields. Our results contribute
to the understanding of nonequilibrium light-matter systems, but can be
generalized to any two-component oscillatory systems with gain and loss.

spectral phase transitions from an entirely real energy spectrum to a complex spectrum can be observed in classical and quantum systems.
When the system is slowly and periodically cycled, the phase transition can become smooth, i.e. imperfect.
This is illustrated by considering the spectral phase transition of the Wannier-Stark ladders in a PT-symmetric class of two-band non-Hermitian lattices.

How the property of quantum many-body system especially the phase transition will be affected by the non-hermiticity remains unclear.
We show that there is a continuous phase transition induced by the non-hermiticity in QCP.
We observe that the order parameter and susceptibility display infinitely even for finite size system, since non-hermiticity endows universality many-body system with different singular behaviour from classical phase transition.
