• Authors: Yuetao Chen, Shoukang Chang, Shaoyan Gao,
• Abstract summary: We investigate a cavity coupled to a non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain within mean-field ansatzs. We find that Squeezed Displaced Schrodinger cat (SDSc) will emerge with high fidelity in cavity ground state when PT -symmetry is broken. This reveals that PT-symmetry breaking in electronic materials can also be captured by the quantum Fisher information and nonclassicality in phase estimation.

• Abstract: Parity-time (PT ) symmetric systems are gain-loss systems whose dynamics are governed by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with degeneracies at exceptional-points (EPs) and has been studied in various photonic, electrical, mechanical systems, and so on. However, it is still an open question how to capture PT symmetry phase transition in electronic system where the transport properties of electron will be dramatically effected. Fortunately, the hybridization between photon and electron offers a novel way not only to control but also probe material properties. Here, we investigate a cavity coupled to a non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) chain within mean-field ansatzs. We find that Squeezed Displaced Schrodinger cat (SDSc) will emerge with high fidelity in cavity ground state when PT -symmetry is broken and the fidelity will experience a sharp drop from almost 1 to 0 as PT symmetry recovers. Additionally, in semiclassical limit, we find that there exists local extrema at two sides of $x=0$ in semiclassical photon Hamiltonian $H_{\rm eff}(x, p)$, a clear signature of the emergence of SDSc state in cavity ground state. Thus, the appearance of SDSc state can be used to capture PT-symmetry phase transition which can not be modified by cavity mode. Besides, we exploit the cavity ground state to estimate the phase in the optical interferometer, and show that the quantum Fisher information and nonclassicality will sharply decline at EPs. This reveals that PT-symmetry breaking in electronic materials can also be captured by the quantum Fisher information and nonclassicality in phase estimation.

  We investigate the impact of introducing a local cavity within the center of a topological chain. This cavity induces a scissor-like effect that bisects the chain, liberating Majorana zero modes (MZMs) within the bulk. By leveraging the symmetry properties of fermion modes within a two-site cavity, we propose a novel method for generating MZM-polariton Schr"odinger cat states.

  We investigate the ground state properties of an optomechanical system consisting of a coupled cavity and mechanical modes. By coupling atoms to the cavity mode, the hybrid system can undergo a quantum phase transition (QPT) at a hybrid critical point. These results suggest that this optomechanical system complements other phase transition models for exploring novel critical phenomena.

  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.

  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.

• Continuous Dissipative Phase Transitions without Symmetry Breaking [0.0]
  Dissipative phase transitions (DPTs) of second order are often connected with spontaneous symmetry breaking ( SSB) We prove this statement to be wrong, showing that SSB is not a necessary condition for the occurrence of second-order DPTs in out-of-equilibrium open quantum systems. This new type of phase transition cannot be interpreted as a "semiclassical" bifurcation, because, after the DPT, the system steady state remains unique.
