This study experimentally validates the dynamics of a non-Hermitian qubit by analyzing the interplay between measurement backaction and post-selection-induced decay. The findings reveal that ensemble-averaged trajectories diverge from Liouvillian averages near exceptional points, offering critical insights for controlling open quantum systems. These results advance the theoretical framework for manipulating qubits in regimes where standard quantum trajectory models require correction.
Homodyne Measurement of a Non-Hermitian Qubit Undergoing Fluorescence
arXiv:2510.13345v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Implementation of a two-level non-Hermitian qubit via post-selection of a three-level system has been demonstrated. The post-selection procedure, which discards quantum jump to the ground-state manifold while retaining excitations in the first and second excited-state manifolds, effectively generates a non-Hermitian qubit exhibiting PT symmetry. In this work, we perform continuous homodyne measurement of this non-Hermitian qubit and analyze the interplay between decay introduced by post-selection and measurement backaction. We compare the ensemble-averaged dynamics obtained from measurement trajectories with the the Liouvillian average. We formulate the no-jump stochastic differential equation describing the post-selected non-Hermitian qubit and show that its ensemble-averaged dynamics agree with those of the jump-updated post-selected evolution at drive strengths far from the Liouvillian exceptional point (EP). The degree of deviation near the EP depends sensitively on the nature of the drive. This discrepancy is attributed to the interplay between measurement backaction and the non-Hermitian decay introduced by post-selection. Furthermore, we determine the optimal path of the non-Hermitian qubit by extremizing the action within the path-integral formulation of the quantum trajectory framework Our results provide insights into how measurement backaction and non-Hermitian dynamics together shape the transient behavior of open quantum systems and enable controlled manipulation of qubits near exceptional points.
