Robustness of exceptional-point-based sensors against parametric noise: The role of Hamiltonian and Liouvillian degeneracies
arXiv:2003.02222 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.101.053846
Abstract
Recent experiments have demonstrated the feasibility of exploiting spectral singularities in open quantum and wave systems, so-called exceptional points, for sensors with strongly enhanced sensitivity. Here, we study theoretically the influence of classical parametric noise on the performance of such sensors. Within a Lindblad-type formalism for stochastic Hamiltonians we discuss the resolvability of frequency splittings and the dynamical stability of the sensor, and show that these properties are interrelated. Of central importance are the different features of exceptional points in the spectra of the Hamiltonian and the corresponding Liouvillian. Two realistic examples, a parity-time-symmetric dimer and a whispering-gallery microcavity with asymmetric backscattering, illustrate the findings.
