Non-Hermitian chiral phononics through optomechanically induced squeezing

J Del Pino, JJ Slim, E Verhagen - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Imposing chirality on a physical system engenders unconventional energy flow and
responses, such as the Aharonov–Bohm effect and the topological quantum Hall phase for …

Quantum-squeezing-induced point-gap topology and skin effect

LL Wan, XY Lü - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We theoretically predict the squeezing-induced point-gap topology together with a symmetry-
protected Z 2 “skin effect” in a one-dimensional (1D) quadratic-bosonic system. Protected by …

Quadrature nonreciprocity in bosonic networks without breaking time-reversal symmetry

CC Wanjura, JJ Slim, J del Pino, M Brunelli… - Nature Physics, 2023 - nature.com
Nonreciprocity means that the transmission of a signal depends on its direction of
propagation. Despite vastly different platforms and underlying working principles, the …

Deconstructing effective non-Hermitian dynamics in quadratic bosonic Hamiltonians

VP Flynn, E Cobanera, L Viola - New Journal of Physics, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Unlike their fermionic counterparts, the dynamics of Hermitian quadratic bosonic
Hamiltonians are governed by a generally non-Hermitian Bogoliubov-de Gennes effective …

Amplification of quantum signals by the non-Hermitian skin effect

Q Wang, C Zhu, Y Wang, B Zhang, YD Chong - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
The non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) is a phenomenon whereby certain non-Hermitian
lattice Hamiltonians host an extensive number of eigenmodes condensed to the boundary …

Out-of-equilibrium full counting statistics in Gaussian theories of quantum magnets

R Senese, J Robertson, F Essler - SciPost Physics, 2024 - scipost.org
We consider the probability distributions of the subsystem (staggered) magnetization in

Unstable avoided crossing in coupled spinor condensates

NR Bernier, EG Dalla Torre, E Demler - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We consider the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate with two internal states, coupled
through a coherent drive. We focus on a specific quench protocol, in which the sign of the …
