• Authors: Andrei I. Pavlov, Yuval Gefen, Alexander Shnirman,
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Complex spectra of dissipative quantum systems may exhibit degeneracies known as exceptional points (EPs). At these points the systems' dynamics may undergo a drastic change. Phenomena associated with EPs and their applications have been extensively studied in relation to various experimental platforms, including, i.a., the superconducting circuits. While most of the studies focus on EPs appearing due to the variation of the system's parameters, we focus on EPs emerging in the full counting statistics of the system. We consider a monitored three level system and find multiple EPs in the Lindbladian eigenvalues considered as functions of a counting field. We demonstrate that these EPs signify transitions between different topological classes which are rigorously characterized in terms of the braid theory. Furthermore, we identify dynamical observables affected by these transitions and demonstrate how the underlying topology can be recovered from experimentally measured quantum jump distributions. Additionally, we establish a duality between certain EPs in the Lindbladian with regard to the counting field. This allows for an experimental observation of the EP transitions, normally hidden by the Liouvillian dynamics of the system, at arbitrary times without applying postselection schemes.

  This study focuses on exceptional points (EPs) in continuous systems rather than discrete non-Hermitian systems. The non-Hermiticity of the system stems from the local imaginary potential, which can be effectively achieved through particle loss. Our investigation sheds light on EP behaviors, potentially catalyzing further exploration of EP phenomena across a variety of quantum simulation setups.

Our experiment simulates such phenomena by means of a finely controlled insertion of various levels of disorder during the evolution of the walker. This allows us to explore the full range of subdiffusive behaviors, ranging from anomalous Anderson localization to normal diffusion.
