讲座摘要

Exceptional points (EPs), universally present in non-Hermitian systems, often reveal some critical behaviors like topological encircling chirality and ultrahigh enhanced sensing. However, most of the experimental realizations of EPs have been limited to the linear regime. Here we experimentally observe two distinct EPs with opposite hermiticities and demonstrate a parity-time (PT) phase transition with exotic memory effects near the EPs in a nonlinear and non-Hermitian system in an optical microcavity. This scheme completes the studies of non-Hermitian physics in a more general scenario by including nonlinearity and paves the way towards optical memory for all-optical signal processing and quantum information.
