With the help of the numerical renormalization group method, we theoretically investigate the Josephson phase transition in a parallel junction with one quantum dot embedded in each arm. It is found that in the cases of uniform dot levels…
We show that when an isolated doublet of unbound states of a physical system becomes degenerate for some values of the control parameters of the system, the energy hypersurfaces representing the complex resonance energy eigenvalues as…
Recently, presence of hidden singularities known as exceptional points (EPs) in non-Hermitian quantum systems has opened up a tremendous interest in different domains of physics owing to their unique unconventional physical effects.…
Driven particle transport in crowded and confining environments is fundamental to diverse phenomena across physics, chemistry, and biology. A main objective in studying such systems is to identify novel emergent states and phases of…
In this work, phase singularities embedded in a wavepacket are shown to act as sources of atypical localized oscillations when the packet interacts with a linear system. We refer to these oscillations as \textit{chirpons}, since they arise…
The interaction of a single-photon wave packet with an initially excited two-level atom in free space is studied in semiclassical and quantum approaches. It is shown that the final state of the field does not contain doubly occupied modes.…
Physical systems with loss or gain feature resonant modes that are decaying or growing exponentially with time. Whenever two such modes coalesce both in their resonant frequency and their rate of decay or growth, a so-called "exceptional…
The resonance frequencies and oscillation phases of three acoustically coupled bubbles are examined to show that avoided crossings can appear in a multibubble system. Via a simple coupled oscillator model, we show that if at least three…
Phase transitions generically occur in random matrix models as the parameters in the joint probability distribution of the random variables are varied. They affect all main features of the theory and the interpretation of statistical models…
The phase diagram of the unconventional superconductor UPt$_3$ is explained under the long-standing hypothesis that the pair wavefunction belongs to the $E_{1g}$ representation of the point group. The main objection to this theory has been…
We study the behavior of the non-adiabatic population transfer between resonances at an exceptional point in the spectrum of the hydrogen atom. It is known that, when the exceptional point is encircled, the system always ends up in the same…
Recent study demonstrated that steady states of a polariton system may show a first-order dissipative phase transition with an exceptional point that appears as an endpoint of the phase boundary [R. Hanai et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 122,…
The evolution pattern of level crossings and exceptional points is studied in a non-integrable pairing model with two different integrable limits. One of the integrable limits has two independent parameter-dependent integrals of motion. We…
The nonclassical behaviors of a two-level system coupled to a harmonic oscillator is investigated in the ultrastrong coupling regime. We revisit the variational solution of the ground state and find that the existing solution do not account…
We study two-electron states confined in two coupled quantum dots formed by a short-range potential in a two-dimensional topological insulator. It is shown that there is a fairly wide range of the system parameters, where the ground state…
Besides the unitarity and symmetry requirements for a multi-resonance scattering amplitude, several other natural conditions can easily exclude unrealistic proposals. In particular, the behaviour of singularities under the variation of…
Level spectroscopy stands as a powerful method for identifying the transition point that delineates distinct quantum phases. Since each quantum phase exhibits a characteristic sequence of excited states, the crossing of energy levels…
Quantum transients are temporary features of matter waves before they reach a stationary regime. Transients may arise after the preparation of an unstable initial state or due to a sudden interaction or a change in the boundary conditions.…
Coupled oscillator networks often display transitions between qualitatively different phase-locked solutions -- such as synchrony and rotating wave solutions -- following perturbation or parameter variation. In the limit of weak coupling,…
Phenomena analogous to ground state quantum phase transitions have recently been noted to occur among states throughout the excitation spectra of certain many-body models. These excited state phase transitions are manifested as simultaneous…
