Recent advances in non-Hermitian physical systems have led to numerous novel optical phenomena and applications. However, most realizations are limited to classical systems and quantum fluctuations of light is unexplored. For the first time, we report the observation of quantum correlations between light channels in an anti-symmetric optical system made of flying atoms. Two distant optical channels coupled dissipatively, display gain, phase sensitivity and quantum correlations with each other, even under linear atom-light interaction within each channel. We found that quantum correlations emerge in the phase unbroken regime and disappears after crossing the exceptional point. Our microscopic model considering quantum noise evolution produces results in good qualitative agreement with experimental observations. This work opens up a new direction of experimental quantum nonlinear optics using non-Hermitian systems, and demonstrates the viability of nonlinear coupling with linear systems by using atomic motion as feedback.
Distinct from closed quantum systems, non-Hermitian system can have exceptional points (EPs) where both eigenvalues and eigenvectors coalesce. Recently, it has been proposed and demonstrated that EPs can enhance the performance of sensors in terms of
The exceptional points of non-Hermitian systems, where $n$ different energy eigenstates merge into an identical one, have many intriguing properties that have no counterparts in Hermitian systems. In particular, the $epsilon^{1/n}$ dependence of the
We study the quantum evolution of a non-Hermitian qubit realized as a sub-manifold of a dissipative superconducting transmon circuit. Real-time tuning of the system parameters results in non-reciprocal quantum state transfer associated with proximity
We use the exceptional point in Hopfield-Bogoliubov matrix to find the phase transition points in the bosonic system. In many previous jobs, the excitation energy vanished at the critical point. It can be stated equivalently that quantum critical poi
Exceptional points (EPs) are exotic degeneracies of non-Hermitian systems, where the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors simultaneously coalesce in parameter space, and these degeneracies are sensitive to tiny perturbations on the system.
