We generalize the recently proposed $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric axion haloscope to a larger array with more $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric structures. The optimized signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has a greater enhancement, as well as the signal power. Furthermore, we show that the robustness of the detector towards the variations of the array coupling is the strongest when a binary tree structure is introduced which contains a largely enhanced $mathcal{PT}$ symmetry. The multiple allowed probing sensors can further increase the SNR by a factor of sensors number due to the correlation of the signals. This type of array can strongly boost the search for axion compared to single mode resonant detection. The enhancement to the SNR becomes the most manifest when applied to the newly proposed detection using superconducting radiofrequency caivty with AC magnetic field where most of the parameter space of the QCD axion above kHz can be probed.

We consider real mass and FI deformations of ABJM theory preserving supersymmetry in the large $N$ limit, and compare with holographic results. On the field theory side, the problems amounts to a spectral problem of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. For certain values of the deformation parameters this is invariant under an antiunitary operator (generalised $mathcal{PT}$ symmetry), which ensures the partition function remains real and allows us to calculate the free energy using tools from statistical physics. The results obtained are compatible with previous work, the important new feature being that these are obtained directly from the real deformations, without analytic continuation.
A ferromagnetic axion haloscope searches for Dark Matter in the form of axions by exploiting their interaction with electronic spins. It is composed of an axion-to-electromagnetic field transducer coupled to a sensitive rf detector. The former is a photon-magnon hybrid system, and the latter is based on a quantum-limited Josephson parametric amplifier. The hybrid system consists of ten 2.1 mm diameter YIG spheres coupled to a single microwave cavity mode by means of a static magnetic field. Our setup is the most sensitive rf spin-magnetometer ever realized. The minimum detectable field is $5.5times10^{-19},$T with 9 h integration time, corresponding to a limit on the axion-electron coupling constant $g_{aee}le1.7times10^{-11}$ at 95% CL. The scientific run of our haloscope resulted in the best limit on DM-axions to electron coupling constant in a frequency span of about 120 MHz, corresponding to the axion mass range $42.4$-$43.1,mu$eV. This is also the first apparatus to perform an axion mass scanning by changing the static magnetic field.
We discuss the physics case for and the concept of a medium-scale axion helioscope with sensitivities in the axion-photon coupling a few times better than CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST). Search for an axion-like particle with these couplings is motivated by several persistent astrophysical anomalies. We present early conceptual design, existing infrastructure, projected sensitivity and timeline of such a helioscope (Troitsk Axion Solar Telescope Experiment, TASTE) to be constructed in the Institute for Nuclear Research, Troitsk, Russia. The proposed instrument may be also used for the search of dark-matter halo axions.
We applied an effective approximation into Maxwells equations with an axion interaction for haloscope searches. A set of Maxwells equations acquired from this approximation describes just the reacted fields generated by the anomalous interaction. Unlike other approaches, this set of Maxwells equations inherently satisfies the boundary conditions for haloscope searches. The electromagnetic field solutions from the Maxwells equations were evaluated for both cylindrical and toroidal cavity geometries including when the axion mass becomes ultra-light (sub-meV). A small but non-zero difference between the electric and magnetic stored energies appeared in both cases. The difference may come from an anomalous non-dissipating current induced by oscillating axions.
The $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric non-Hermitian systems have been widely studied and explored both in theory and in experiment these years due to various interesting features. In this work, we focus on the dynamical features of a triple-qubit system, one of which evolves under local $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian. A new kind of abnormal dynamic pattern in the entropy evolution process is identified, which presents a parameter-dependent stable state, determined by the non-Hermiticity of Hamiltonian in the broken phase of $mathcal{PT}$-symmetry. The entanglement and mutual information of a two-body subsystem can increase beyond the initial values, which do not exist in the Hermitian and two-qubit $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems. Moreover, an experimental demonstration of the stable states in non-Hermitian system with non-zero entropy and entanglement is realized on a four-qubit quantum simulator with nuclear spins. Our work reveals the distinctive dynamic features in the triple-qubit $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric system and paves the way for practical quantum simulation of multi-party non-Hermitian system on quantum computers.
