• Abstract: Owing to the presence of exceptional points (EPs), non-Hermitian (NH) systems can display intriguing topological phenomena without Hermitian analogs. However, experimental characteristics of exceptional topological invariants have been restricted to second-order EPs (EP2s) in classical or semiclassical systems. We here propose an NH multi-qubit model with higher-order EPs, each of which is underlain by a multifold-degenerate multipartite entangled eigenstate. We implement the three-qubit model by controllably coupling a superconducting qubit to two microwave resonators, one serving as a Hermitian photonic qubit while the other as an NH qubit. We experimentally quantify the topological invariant for an EP3, by mapping out the complex eigenspectra along a loop surrounding this EP3 in the parameter space. The nonclassicality of the realized topology is manifested by the observed quantum correlations in the corresponding eigenstates. Our results extend research of exceptional topology to fully quantum-mechanical models with multi-partite entangled eigenstates. We further demonstrate the non-reciprocal transmission of a single photon, during which the photon is nonlocally shared by three individual elements.

  Weyl exceptional rings (WER), extended from point-like singularities, are particularly interesting. We here investigate this topology in a circuit, where the WER is synthesized with a superconducting qubit controllably coupled to a decaying resonator. We demonstrate a topological transition triggered by shrinking the size of the manifold$-$a unique feature of the WER.

  We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

  We propose a non-Hermitian three-mode optomechanical system in the blue-sideband regime for predicting the third-order EP (EP3) For the gain (loss) MR, we find only two degenerate EP3s or EP2s can be predicted by tuning enhanced coupling strength. Our proposal provides a potential way to predict higher-order EPs or multiple EP2s and study multimode quantum squeezing around EPs.
