Within the framework of the recently proposed formalism using non-hermitean Hamiltonians constrained merely by their PT invariance we describe a new exactly solvable family of the harmonic-oscillator-like potentials with non-equidistant…
Although the spinor field in (1+1) dimensions has the right structure to model a dispersive bimodal system with gain and loss, the plain addition of gain to one component of the field and loss to the other one results in an unstable…
We report the realization of coupling-independent, robust wireless sensing of fully-passive resistive sensors. PT-symmetric operation obviates sweeping, permitting real-time, single-point sensing. Self-oscillation is achieved through a…
We investigate branched PT-symmetric optical lattices. We consider both the linear and nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with a PT-symmetric periodic potential on the graph and solve them by imposing weighted vertex boundary conditions. A…
Going beyond the conventional classification rule of Altland-Zirnbauer symmetry classes, $PT$ symmetric topological phases are classified by $(PT)^2=1$ or $-1$. The interconversion between the two $PT$-symmetric topological classes is…
We analyze a system of three two-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations coupled by linear terms and with the cubic-quintic (focusing-defocusing) nonlinearity. We consider two versions of the model: conservative and parity-time…
We address the existence and properties of optical solitons excited in thermal nonlinear media with a transverse refractive index gradient. We show that in such a geometry one can generate controllable switching from surface soliton…

By embedding a $\cal PT$-symmetric (pseudo-Hermitian) system into a large Hermitian one, we disclose the relations between $\cal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians and weak measurement theory. We show that the amplification effect in weak…
We study the dynamics of two-component vector solitons, namely, bright-bright (BB) solitons interacting with parity-time-($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetric potentials. We employ direct numerical simulations to demonstrate the unidirectional…
The Hamiltonian for a PT-symmetric chain of coupled oscillators is constructed. It is shown that if the loss-gain parameter $\gamma$ is uniform for all oscillators, then as the number of oscillators increases, the region of unbroken…
Parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetric systems are classical, gain-loss systems whose dynamics are governed by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with exceptional-point (EP) degeneracies. The eigenvalues of a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian…
We investigate a parity-time (PT) symmetric system that consists of two symmetrically coupled asymmetric dimers. The enclosed magnetic flux controls the PT phase transition. The system can reenter the exact PT-symmetric phase from a broken…
Parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry, originally conceived for non-Hermitian open quantum systems, has opened an excitingly new avenue for the coherent control of light. By tailoring optical gain and loss in integrated photonic structures,…
A fundamental axiom of quantum mechanics requires the Hamiltonians to be Hermitian which guarantees real eigen-energies and probability conservation. However, a class of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with Parity-Time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry…
If a Hamiltonian is PT symmetric, there are two possibilities: Either the eigenvalues are entirely real, in which case the Hamiltonian is said to be in an unbroken-PT-symmetric phase, or else the eigenvalues are partly real and partly…
The optomechanical state transfer protocol provides effective, lossy, quantum beam-splitter-like dynamics where the strength of the coupling between the electromagnetic and mechanical modes is controlled by the optical steady-state…

We address propagation of light in nonlinear twisted multi-core fibers with alternating amplifying and absorbing cores that are arranged into the PT - symmetric structure. In this structure, the coupling strength between neighboring cores…
We propose a scheme to realize parity-time (PT) symmetry via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). The system we consider is an ensemble of cold four-level atoms with an EIT core. We show that the cross-phase modulation…
