Higher-order exceptional point in a cavity magnonics system


Abstract in English

We propose to realize the pseudo-Hermiticity in a cavity magnonics system consisting of the Kittel modes in two small yttrium-iron-garnet spheres coupled to a microwave cavity mode. The effective gain of the cavity can be achieved using the coherent perfect absorption of the two input fields fed into the cavity. With certain constraints of the parameters, the Hamiltonian of the system has the pseudo-Hermiticity and its eigenvalues can be either all real or one real and other two constituting a complex-conjugate pair. By varying the coupling strengths between the two Kittel modes and the cavity mode, we find the existence of the third-order exceptional point in the parameter space, in addition to the usual second-order exceptional point existing in the system with parity-time symmetry. Also, we show that these exceptional points can be demonstrated by measuring the output spectrum of the cavity.
