Topological Properties of a Coupled Spin-Photon System Induced by Damping

Abstract

We experimentally examine the topological nature of a strongly coupled spin-photon system induced by damping. The presence of both spin and photonic losses results in a non-Hermitian system with a variety of exotic phenomena dictated by the topological structure of the eigenvalue spectra and the presence of an exceptional point (EP), where the coupled spin-photon eigenvectors coalesce. By controlling both the spin resonance frequency and the spin-photon coupling strength we observe a resonance crossing for cooperativities above one, suggesting that the boundary between weak and strong coupling should be based on the EP location rather than the cooperativity. Furthermore we observe dynamic mode switching when encircling the EP and identify the potential to engineer the topological structure of coupled spin-photon systems with additional modes. Our work therefore further highlights the role of damping within the strong coupling regime, and demonstrates the potential and great flexibility of spin-photon systems for studies of non-Hermitian physics.
