Passage through exceptional point: case study

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: It is conjectured that the exceptional-point (EP) singularity of a one-parametric quasi-Hermitian N by N matrix Hamiltonian H(t) can play the role of a quantum phase-transition interface connecting different dynamical regimes of a unitary quantum system. Six realizations of the EP-mediated quantum phase transitions "of the third kind" are described in detail. Fairly realistic Bose-Hubbard (BH) and discrete anharmonic oscillator (AO) models of any matrix dimension N are considered in the initial, intermediate, or final phase. In such a linear algebraic illustration of the changes of phase, all ingredients (and, first of all, all transition matrices) are constructed in closed, algebraic, non-numerical form.
