| Summary: | We propose a physical setup to realize parity-time (PT) symmetric moiré optical lattices (ML) and nonlocal optical solitons in a cold Rydberg atomic system with electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). We also show that based on the PT symmetry lattice strength and giant nonlocal Kerr nonlinearity originated from the strong, long-range atom–atom interaction, the system supports two-dimension (2D) nonlocal solitons with very low light intensity. By using numerical simulation method, we uncover the formation, properties, and dynamics of higher-order solitons and vortical ones. Our study opens a route for developing non-Hermitian nonlinear optics, especially for realizing and controlling high-dimensional weak-light optical solitons through adjustable PT-symmetric moiré lattice parameters and giant nonlocal optical nonlinearity.
