We find that a broken PT-symmetry operator when interacts with suitable Hermitian operator, new system becomes completely un-broken PT symmetry. Further on varying the contribution of Hermiticity one can delay or control the broken…

Topological orders can be understood as spontaneous symmetry breaking of higher-form symmetries. In the non-Abelian case, the broken higher-form symmetries are notably non-invertible. In this work, we extend this framework to mixed states,…
