abstract

We provide an analytic propagator for non-Hermitian dimers showing linear gain or losses in the quantum regime. In particular, we focus on experimentally feasible realizations of the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric dimer and provide their mean photon number and second order two-point correlation. We study the propagation of vacuum, single photon spatially-separable, and two-photon spatially-entangled states. We show that each configuration produces a particular signature that might signal their possible uses as photon switches, semi-classical intensity-tunable sources, or spatially entangled sources to mention a few possible applications.

  1. $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry from Lindblad dynamics in an optomechanical system

    quant-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The strong-to-weak coupling transition in optomechanical state transfer is interpreted as a passive PT-symmetry breaking transition, with exact Lindblad/non-Hermitian agreement only in the single-excitation subspace.
