Abstract

Over the past decade, parity-time (PT) symmetry and anti-PT (APT) symmetry in various physical systems have been extensively studied, leading to significant experimental and theoretical advancements. However, physical systems that simultaneously exhibit both PT and APT symmetry have not yet been explored. In this study, we construct a phase-sensitive non-Hermitian wave mixing model that inherently possesses single-mode APT symmetry. By tuning the phase of the pump field, this model simultaneously exhibits two-mode quadrature-PT symmetry. Moreover, the APT phase transition is accompanied by the emergence of quantum entanglement from absence to presence. This remarkable quantum effect, quantum entanglement, which distinguishes itself from classical physics, is surprisingly linked to APT symmetry phase transition. Our work further explores the relationship between two-mode quantum entanglement and the phase of the pump field, offering deeper insight into the generation and evolution of entanglement in the corresponding nonlinear system. This provides a new perspective on quantum information processing.
