• Abstract: We consider a quasi-PT-symmetric system of two resonators, one of which interacts with a finite-size environment. The interaction with the environment leads to energy losses in the resonators, and the finite size of the environment leads to a non-Markovian dynamics of the relaxation process. We demonstrate that non-Markovian processes in the quasi-PT-symmetric system can make the states of the system infinitely living, loss-protected states, even in the absence of gain. There is a critical value of the interaction between the resonator and the environment below which any state of the system is loss-protected. When the interaction magnitude is greater than the critical value, depending on the coupling strength between the resonators, either one or both states are unprotected. We show that the boundaries of regions with different numbers of protected states are determined by the relaxation rates in the quasi-PT-symmetric system, calculated in the Markovian approximation. By changing the coupling strength between the resonators and the interaction magnitude between the resonator and the environment, the system switches between modes with two, one, or no loss-protected states. This makes it possible to realize stable PT-symmetric devices based on purely dissipative systems. The obtained results are applicable to quantum systems with single excitations, allowing the concept of PT symmetry to be extended to such systems.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

  We propose two schemes for generating Wigner-negative entangled states unconditionally in mechanical resonators. We show analytically that both schemes stabilize a Wigner-negative entangled state that combines the entanglement of a two-mode squeezed vacuum with a cubic nonlinearity. We then perform extensive numerical simulations to test the robustness of Wigner-negative entanglement attained by approximate CPE states stabilized in the presence of thermal decoherence.

  Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states.

MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism.

  asymmetry in the couplings between each qubit and the non-Markovian environment may lead to enhanced entanglement in the steady state of the system. Although finite, the steady concurrence is predicted to be highly unstable in this regime as long as the interaction between the two qubits is larger than the couplings between each qubit and the non-Markovian reservoir.

  We investigate the effect of conditional null measurements on a quantum system and find a rich variety of behaviors. We discuss four generic behaviors that emerge in these monitored systems. When the control parameters are tuned, such that the eigenvalues of the survival operator all coalesce to zero, one has exceptional points that corresponds to situations that violate the null measurement condition.
