Braiding topology of symmetry-protected degeneracy points in non-Hermitian systems

  • Abstract:

    Degeneracy points in non-Hermitian systems are of great interest. While a homotopic framework exists for understanding their behavior in the absence of symmetry, it does not apply to symmetry-protected degeneracy points with reduced codimension. In this work, utilizing algebraic topology, we provide a systematic classification of these symmetry-protected degenerate points and investigate the braid conservation rule followed by them. Using a model Hamiltonian and circuit simulation, we discover that, contrary to simple annihilation, pairwise-created symmetry-protected degeneracy points merge into a higher-order degeneracy point, which goes beyond the abelian picture. Our findings empower researchers across diverse fields to uncover new phenomena and applications harnessing symmetry-protected non-Hermitian degeneracy points.
