Non-hermitian physics

Y Ashida, Z Gong, M Ueda - Advances in Physics, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and
quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra …

Nonlinear waves in -symmetric systems

VV Konotop, J Yang, DA Zezyulin - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2016 - APS
Recent progress on nonlinear properties of parity-time (PT)-symmetric systems is
comprehensively reviewed in this article. PT symmetry started out in non-Hermitian quantum …

Topological physics of non-Hermitian optics and photonics: a review

H Wang, X Zhang, J Hua, D Lei, M Lu, Y Chen - Journal of Optics, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The notion of non-Hermitian optics and photonics rooted in quantum mechanics and
photonic systems has recently attracted considerable attention ushering in tremendous …

Nanophotonics of microcavity exciton–polaritons

S Luo, H Zhou, L Zhang, Z Chen - Applied Physics Reviews, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
The past 30 years have witnessed remarkable developments of microcavity exciton–
polaritons, which have made a great impact on photonics and optoelectronics from …

Parity-time symmetry in optical microcavity systems

J Wen, X Jiang, L Jiang, M **ao - Journal of Physics B: Atomic …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Canonical quantum mechanics postulates Hermitian Hamiltonians to ensure real
eigenvalues. Counterintuitively, a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, satisfying combined parity …

Persistent self-induced larmor precession evidenced through periodic revivals of coherence

H Sigurdsson, I Gnusov, S Alyatkin, L Pickup… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Interferometric measurements of an optically trapped exciton-polariton condensate reveal a
regime where the condensate pseudo-spin precesses persistently within the driving optical …

Attraction centers and parity-time-symmetric delta-functional dipoles in critical and supercritical self-focusing media

L Wang, BA Malomed, Z Yan - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
We introduce a model based on the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation with
critical (quintic) or supercritical self-focusing nonlinearity. We demonstrate that a family of …

Lotka-Volterra population dynamics in coherent and tunable oscillators of trapped polariton condensates

JD Toepfer, H Sigurdsson, S Alyatkin, PG Lagoudakis - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We demonstrate a regime in which matter-wave condensates of exciton-polaritons trapped
in an elliptically shaped two-dimensional potential appear as a coherent mixture of ground …

Parity-time-symmetry-breaking gyroscopes: lasing without gain and subthreshold regimes

DD Smith, H Chang, L Horstman, JC Diels - Optics express, 2019 - opg.optica.org
We show that the lasing threshold for two coupled resonators (CRs) corresponds to lasing
without gain (LWG), a phenomenon analogous to lasing without inversion in atomic systems …

Scattering of the asymmetric kinks from a -symmetric perturbation: creating multiple kink–antikink pairs from phonons

D Saadatmand, AM Marjaneh - The European Physical Journal B, 2022 - Springer
Interaction of asymmetric ϕ 6 kinks with a spatially localized PT-symmetric perturbation is
investigated numerically. It is shown that when the kink (antikink) hits the defect from the …
