    Abstract We investigate the physics of an open two-component Dicke model, where the light field mediates nonreciprocal interactions between two spin species. We show that the model, which we dub nonreciprocal Dicke model, exhibits a discrete parity-time (PT) symmetry and we characterize the emergence of a nonstationary phase, so far explained in terms of dissipation-induced instability, as spontaneous breaking of PT symmetry. We further show that such PT symmetry breaking embodies an instance of a nonreciprocal phase transition, a concept recently introduced by Fruchart et al. [Nature (London) 592, 363 (2021)NATUAS0028-083610.1038/s41586-021-03375-9]. Remarkably, the phase transition in our model does not necessitate the presence of any underlying broken symmetry or exceptional points in the spectrum, both believed to be essential requirements for nonreciprocal phase transitions. Our results establish driven-dissipative light-matter systems as a new avenue for exploring nonreciprocal phase transitions and contribute to the theory of nonreciprocal collective phenomena.

    Abstract In order for non-Hermitian (NH) topological effects to be relevant for practical applications, it is necessary to study disordered systems. Without disorder, a class of driven-dissipative cavity arrays displays directional amplification when associated with a nontrivial winding number of the NH dynamic matrix. In this work, we show analytically that the correspondence between NH topology and directional amplification holds also in the presence of disorder. We first show that a NH topological phase is preserved as long as the size of the point gap, i.e., the minimum distance of the disorderless complex spectrum from the origin, is larger than the maximum amount of disorder; the disorder is assumed to be bounded but otherwise general, i.e., complex and both local (on-site disorder) and nonlocal (disordered couplings). We then derive analytic bounds for the probability distribution of the scattering matrix elements, which show that the key features of nontrivial NH topology, namely, that the end-to-end forward (reverse) gain grows (is suppressed) exponentially with system size, are preserved in disordered systems. Our results prove that NH topology in cavity arrays is robust against disorder.

    Abstract Systems subject to a high-frequency drive can spend an exponentially long time in a prethermal regime, in which novel phases of matter with no equilibrium counterpart can be realized. Because of the notorious computational challenges of quantum many-body systems, numerical investigations in this direction have remained limited to one spatial dimension, in which long-range interactions have been proven a necessity. Here, we show that prethermal nonequilibrium phases of matter are not restricted to the quantum domain. Studying the Hamiltonian dynamics of a large three-dimensional lattice of classical spins, we provide the first numerical proof of prethermal phases of matter in a system with short-range interactions. Concretely, we find higher-order as well as fractional discrete time crystals breaking the time-translational symmetry of the drive with unexpectedly large integer as well as fractional periods. Our work paves the way toward the exploration of novel prethermal phenomena by means of classical Hamiltonian dynamics with virtually no limitations on the system's geometry or size, and thus with direct implications for experiments.

    Abstract Discrete time crystals are periodically driven systems characterized by a response with periodicity nT, with T the period of the drive and n > 1. Typically, n is an integer and bounded from above by the dimension of the local (or single particle) Hilbert space, the most prominent example being spin-1/2 systems with n restricted to 2. Here, we show that a clean spin-1/2 system in the presence of long-range interactions and transverse field can sustain a huge variety of different 'higher-order' discrete time crystals with integer and, surprisingly, even fractional n > 2. We characterize these (arguably prethermal) non-equilibrium phases of matter thoroughly using a combination of exact diagonalization, semiclassical methods, and spin-wave approximations, which enable us to establish their stability in the presence of competing long- and short-range interactions. Remarkably, these phases emerge in a model with continous driving and time-independent interactions, convenient for experimental implementations with ultracold atoms or trapped ions.

    Abstract Stochastic processes govern the time evolution of a huge variety of realistic systems throughout the sciences. A minimal description of noisy many-particle systems within a Markovian picture and with a notion of spatial dimension is given by probabilistic cellular automata, which typically feature time-independent and short-ranged update rules. Here, we propose a simple cellular automaton with power-law interactions that gives rise to a bistable phase of long-ranged directed percolation whose long-time behaviour is not only dictated by the system dynamics, but also by the initial conditions. In the presence of a periodic modulation of the update rules, we find that the system responds with a period larger than that of the modulation for an exponentially (in system size) long time. This breaking of discrete time translation symmetry of the underlying dynamics is enabled by a self-correcting mechanism of the long-ranged interactions which compensates noise-induced imperfections. Our work thus provides a firm example of a classical discrete time crystal phase of matter and paves the way for the study of novel non-equilibrium phases in the unexplored field of driven probabilistic cellular automata.

    Abstract Directional amplification, in which signals are selectively amplified depending on their propagation direction, has attracted much attention as key resource for applications, including quantum information processing. Recently, several, physically very different, directional amplifiers have been proposed and realized in the lab. In this work, we present a unifying framework based on topology to understand non-reciprocity and directional amplification in driven-dissipative cavity arrays. Specifically, we unveil a one-to-one correspondence between a non-zero topological invariant defined on the spectrum of the dynamic matrix and regimes of directional amplification, in which the end-to-end gain grows exponentially with the number of cavities. We compute analytically the scattering matrix, the gain and reverse gain, showing their explicit dependence on the value of the topological invariant. Parameter regimes achieving directional amplification can be elegantly obtained from a topological 'phase diagram', which provides a guiding principle for the design of both phase-preserving and phase-sensitive multimode directional amplifiers.

    Abstract Topology is quickly becoming a cornerstone in our understanding of electronic systems. Like their electronic counterparts, bosonic systems can exhibit a topological band structure, but in real materials it is difficult to ascertain their topological nature, as their ground state is a simple condensate or the vacuum, and one has to rely instead on excited states, for example a characteristic thermal Hall response. Here we propose driving a topological magnon insulator with an electromagnetic field and show that this causes edge mode instabilities and a large non-equilibrium steady-state magnon edge current. Building on this, we discuss several experimental signatures that unambiguously establish the presence of topological magnon edge modes. Furthermore, our amplification mechanism can be employed to power a topological travelling-wave magnon amplifier and topological magnon laser, with applications in magnon spintronics. This work thus represents a step toward functional topological magnetic materials.

    Abstract Backaction-evading measurements of mechanical motion can achieve precision below the zero-point uncertainty and quantum squeezing, which makes them a resource for quantum metrology and quantum information processing. We provide an exact expression for the conditional state of an optomechanical system in a two-tone backaction-evading measurement beyond the standard adiabatic approximation and perform extensive numerical simulations to go beyond the usual rotating-wave approximation. We predict the simultaneous presence of conditional mechanical squeezing, intracavity squeezing, and optomechanical entanglement. We further apply an analogous analysis to the multimode optomechanical system of two mechanical and one cavity mode and find conditional mechanical Einstein-Podolski-Rosen entanglement and genuinely tripartite optomechanical entanglement. Our analysis is of direct relevance for ultrasensitive measurements and measurement-based control in high-cooperativity optomechanical sensors operating beyond the adiabatic limit.
