Distinguishability transitions in nonunitary boson-sampling dynamics

We discover transitions characterized by distinguishability of bosons in nonunitary dynamics with parity-time (PT) symmetry. We show that PT-symmetry breaking, a unique transition in non-Hermitian open systems, enhances regions in which bosons can be regarded as distinguishable. This means that clas...
