• Abstract: We demonstrate how Exceptional Points (EPs) naturally occur in the Luttinger Liquid (LL) theory describing the low-energy excitations of a microscopic lattice model with sublattice dependent electron-electron interaction. Upon bosonization, this sublattice dependence directly translates to a non-standard sine-Gordon-type term responsible for the non-Hermitian matrix structure of the single-particle Green Function (GF). As the structure in the lifetime of excitations does not commute with the underlying free Bloch Hamiltonian, non-Hermitian topological properties of the single-particle GF emerge -- despite our Hermitian model Hamiltonian. Both finite temperature and a non-trivial Luttinger parameter $K\neq 1$ are required for the formation of EPs, and their topological stability in one spatial dimension is guaranteed by the chiral symmetry of our model. In the presence of the aforementioned sine-Gordon-term, we resort to leading order Perturbation Theory (PT) to compute the single-particle GF. All qualitative findings derived within LL theory are corroborated by comparison to both numerical simulations within the conserving second Born approximation, and, for weak interactions and high temperatures, by fermionic plain PT. In certain parameter regimes, quantitative agreement can be reached by a suitable parameter choice in the effective bosonized model.

  We apply our formalism to a non-Hermitian Josephson junction where, despite recent claims, the supercurrent does not exhibit any divergences at EPs. The entropy, on the contrary, shows a universal jump of $1/2log 2$ which can be linked to the emergence of Majorana zero modes.

  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.

A specific relationship between the collapse parameter $(lambda)$ and the collapse length scale ($r_C$) plays the role of the coexistence curve in usual thermodynamic phase diagrams.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
