Enhanced response at exceptional points in multi-qubit systems for sensing

Abstract

Exceptional points featuring enhanced energy response to perturbation hold significant potential in detection and measurement of weak signals. Of particular interest is the existence and property of high-order exceptional points in quantum systems, owing to the capability to provide high-order response to perturbations. We investigate the exceptional points in a system of $n$ identical qubits possessing parity-time-reversal symmetry. We prove that owing to an incomplete coalescence of eigenstates, the highest possible order of exceptional point is $n+1$, which is also the upper bound of the order of energy response to perturbation. More interestingly, by considering an Ising-type interaction, we analytically prove that to achieve an $(m+1)$-th order response for any $m\le n$, the system must acquire a nontrivial $m$-body interaction. Finally, we propose a Floquet driving scheme to implement an effective multi-body Ising-type interaction, which can be realized in trapped ions or superconducting qubits.
