Observing parity-time symmetry breaking in a Josephson parametric amplifier

A coupled two-mode system with balanced gain and loss is a paradigmatic example of an open quantum system that can exhibit real spectra despite being described by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. We utilize a degenerate parametric amplifier operating in three-wave mixing mode to realize such a system of...
