Experimental realization of Floquet PT-symmetric systems

Abstract: We provide an experimental framework where periodically driven PT-symmetric systems can be investigated. The set-up, consisting of two UHF oscillators coupled by a time-dependent capacitance, demonstrates a cascade of PT-symmetric broken domains bounded by exceptional point degeneracies. These domains are analyzed and understood using an equivalent Floquet frequency lattice with local PT-symmetry. Management of these PT-phase transition domains is achieved through the amplitude and frequency of the drive.
