Parity–time symmetry and exceptional points in photonics
TLDR
The role of PT symmetry and non-Hermitian dynamics for synthesizing and controlling the flow of light in optical structures is highlighted and a roadmap for future studies and potential applications is provided.

Chiral modes and directional lasing at exceptional points
TLDR
It is shown how to impose a strong chirality and a switchable direction of light propagation in an optical system by steering it to an exceptional point (EP)—a degeneracy universally occurring in all open physical systems when two eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenstates coalesce.

Non-Hermitian physics and PT symmetry
In recent years, notions drawn from non-Hermitian physics and parity–time (PT) symmetry have attracted considerable attention. In particular, the realization that the interplay between gain and loss…

Protecting a spin ensemble against decoherence in the strong-coupling regime of cavity QED
Hybridized systems offer a promising route for developing quantum devices, but inhomogeneous broadening limits the practical use of large spin ensembles. Suppression of the decoherence induced by…

Dynamically encircling an exceptional point for asymmetric mode switching
TLDR
It is demonstrated that a dynamical encircling of an exceptional point is analogous to the scattering through a two-mode waveguide with suitably designed boundaries and losses, and mode transitions are induced that transform this device into a robust and asymmetric switch between different waveguide modes.

Strong Interactions in Multimode Random Lasers
TLDR
It is shown that the modal interactions through the gain medium in such lasers are extremely strong and lead to a uniformly spaced frequency spectrum, in agreement with recent experimental observations.

Light fields in complex media: Mesoscopic scattering meets wave control
Wave front shaping, the ability to manipulate light fields both spatially and temporally, in complex media is an emerging field with many applications. This review summarizes how insights from…

Loss-induced suppression and revival of lasing
TLDR
Overturning conventional wisdom that loss is bad and should be minimized, Peng et al. show that carefully tweaking the coupling strength between the various components of a coupled optical system can actually result in an enhancement of the optical properties by adding more loss into the system.

Dynamically encircling exceptional points in a waveguide: asymmetric mode switching from the breakdown of adiabaticity
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…

Cavity QED with magnetically coupled collective spin states.
TLDR
Strong coupling between an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy center electron spins in diamond and a superconducting microwave coplanar waveguide resonator is reported and hyperfine coupling to (13)C nuclear spins is measured, which is a first step towards a nuclear ensemble quantum memory.
