Amplification of quantum signals by the non-Hermitian skin effect
arXiv:2202.10727 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.106.024301
Abstract
The non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE) is a phenomenon whereby certain non-Hermitian lattice Hamiltonians, particularly those with nonreciprocal couplings, can host an extensive number of eigenmodes condensed to the boundary, called skin modes. Although the NHSE has mostly been studied in the classical regime, we show that it can also manifest in quantum systems containing boson number nonconserving processes arising from uniform parametric driving. We study lattices of coupled nonlinear resonators that can function as reciprocal quantum amplifiers. A one-dimensional chain exhibiting NHSE can perform strong photon amplification, aided by the skin modes, that scales exponentially with the chain length and outperforms alternative lattice configurations that lack the NHSE. We show also that two-dimensional nonlinear lattices can perform directional photon amplification between different lattice corners, due to the two-dimensional NHSE.
