    热原子系统中非耗散反PT对称奇异点的观测

    Observation of Exceptional Point in Non-Dissipative Anti-Parity-Time-Symmetry with Hot Atoms

    • 摘要: 非厄米系统在奇异点(Exceptional points, EPs)附近对非厄米参量有着极高的灵敏度,这使得基于EP的精密传感在诸多领域得到应用。然而,传统的宇称时间反演(Parity-time, PT)对称系统需要引入增益和损耗,这会引起量子噪声问题。反PT对称系统可以在不引入线性增益和损耗的同时保持高灵敏度,但是热原子非耗散反PT对称系统中EP的实验观测仍是一个难点。本文通过热原子系统的远失谐四波混频效应证明了非耗散反PT对称性,并通过实验观察到EP,有望为室温条件下的量子传感和量子信息处理等应用提供一种可行的方案。

       

      Abstract: Parity-time (PT) symmetric systems are extremely sensitive to non-Hermitian parametric perturbations near the exceptional point (EP), which has led to the widespread use of EP-based precision sensing in a wide variety of systems. However, conventional PT symmetric systems require the introduction of gains and losses, which can cause quantum noise problems. The anti-PT-symmetric system can be used without introducing gains and losses and also possesses an extremely high sensitivity in the vicinity of the EP. However, the experimental verification of EP in non-dissipative anti-PT-symmetric systems with hot atoms has not yet been demonstrated. Here, we demonstrate non-dissipative anti-PT-symmetry through far-detuned four wave mixing (FWM) in hot atoms and successfully observe the EP, which will provide a practicable means for applications such as quantum sensing and quantum information processing at ambient conditions.
