\section{Introduction}
Many interesting physical processes, such as first-order quantum phase transitions, are signaled by the closing of the energy gap between the ground and the first excited states~\cite{sachdev2007quantum}. Identifying gap-closing points, which are easily mixed up with anticrossing points in measurement, is a necessary step in establishing distinct phases and critical regimes in many situations. On the other hand, while the gap closing under study emerges in a closed quantum system, the system is inevitably coupled to its environment or the measuring device during detection. Naturally, a full description of the measurement process necessitates an open-system treatment where dissipative processes arise. Previous studies have shown that dissipation can be engineered to induce interesting phases or phase transitions in the resulting dynamics~\cite{yao2018edge,luo2019higher,li2020critical,pan2021point,pan2021emergent,longhi2022self,li2022engineering,yi2022exceptional}.
In this context, a complementary question, whether dissipation can be introduced to probing energy gap closing in closed quantum systems, has rarely been addressed.

On the other hand, past decades witness the quick growth of research interest on non-Hermitian systems with parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry~\cite{bender1998real,el2018non,bender2018pt,moiseyev2011non,feng2017non,pile2017gaining, limonov2017fano, horiuchi2017marriage,xiao2019observation,klauck2019observation,szameit2011p,regensburger2012parity,zhen2015spawning,weimann2017topologically, kim2016direct,cerjan2016exceptional,poshakinskiy2016multiple,dembowski2001experimental,dembowski2004encircling,mailybaev2005geometric,doppler2016dynamically,hassan2017chiral,hassan2017dynamically,
zhang2018dynamically,ren2022chiral}. These systems possess real (conjugate complex) spectra in the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric (breaking) phases~\cite{bender1998real,el2018non,bender2018pt}. The spontaneous breaking of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry by state-dependent dissipation (or gain and loss in optics) leads to the emergence of exceptional point (EP) with the coalescence of eigenstates, which has been experimentally checked in different platforms~\cite{moiseyev2011non,feng2017non,pile2017gaining, limonov2017fano, horiuchi2017marriage,xiao2019observation,klauck2019observation,szameit2011p,regensburger2012parity,zhen2015spawning,weimann2017topologically, kim2016direct,cerjan2016exceptional,poshakinskiy2016multiple}. The singular character of EPs is not only useful for sensing~\cite{wiersig2016sensors,wiersig2014enhancing,wiersig2020review}, but has profound impact on the system dynamics, exemplified by
the phenomenon of chiral state transfer~\cite{dembowski2004encircling,hassan2017dynamically,hassan2017chiral,zhang2018dynamically,wang2018non,ren2022chiral}. Furthermore, in a recent study, it is shown that when crossing the EP, information of the initial state may be completely lost, leading to an equal population of the eigenstates~\cite{longstaff2019nonadiabatic}.

In this work, we demonstrate that gap-closing transitions in Hermitian systems can in principle be identified with dynamical method by introducing a dissipative perturbation. We consider a purely dissipative process, under which the original Hermitian Hamiltonian is dressed by an additional imaginary term. Importantly, we design the dissipative process such that the resulting dissipative perturbation possesses the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry. As a result, at around the gap-closing or anticrossing point of a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian, the imaginary term opens up a purely imaginary spectral gap, and a pair of EPs emerge on either side of the transition, forming a bubble-like structure which we refer to as the $\mathcal{PT}$-breaking bubble (PTBB). Based on the bubble-like spectral structure and the unique dynamic consequence of EPs, we propose to detect the gap-closing transition through a Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-like process: the system parameters are ramped across the bubble and then back to the original values. The final state subsequently features an equal population of the two eigenstates when the original Hermitian Hamiltonian has gap closing, regardless of the initial state. The applicability of this proposal is owing to that such a phenomenon is absent when the original Hamiltonian carries anticrossing points, no matter whether it possesses $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry and then PTBB emerges or not, which goes beyond the previous study~\cite{longstaff2019nonadiabatic}.  It implies that this phenomenon is indeed can be employed as a unique signature for energy gap closing. It is worth to emphasize that, this phenomenon is in sharp contrast to the Landau-Zener-Stückelberg interference in a common Hermitian system, where the final state sensitively depends on the initial condition. This scheme also does not require the fine tuning of parameters to the critical point. Our predictions should be able to be verified with current experimental techniques.

Our paper is organized as follows. In Sec. II, we present the perturbation analysis on the spectral response to a dissipative perturbation in a generic $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric system with small energy gap. In Sec. III, we discuss the breaking of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry under the two-level approximation. We discuss how to identify gap closing with dynamical evolution in Sec. IV. The impacts of different initial states are discussed in Sec. V. Some discussions and a brief summary are given in Sec. VI.

\section{Dissipative perturbation}
Gap closing or anticrossing typically involves two states, the ground state $|\Psi_{g}\rangle$ and the excited state $|\Psi_{e}\rangle$, which approach and leave away each other when tuning a coupling strength $\eta$. We assume the original Hamitonian $H_{0}(\eta)$ is perturbed by a dissipative perturbation $H_{p}=\text{i}\lambda V_{p}$ with Hermitian Hamiltonian $V_{p}$ and small parameter $\lambda$, which generally can be implemented with state-dependent loss in experiment~\cite{li2019observation,ren2022chiral}. We assume $H_{0}$, $H_{p}$ and then total Hamiltonian $H=H_{0}+H_{p}$ possess the product of parity ($\mathcal{P}$) and time-reversal ($\mathcal{T}$) symmetries, i.e., the so-called $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry: $\mathcal{PT}H_{0}(\mathcal{PT})^{-1}=H_{0}$, $\mathcal{PT}H_{p}(\mathcal{PT})^{-1}=H_{p}$ and $\mathcal{PT}H(\mathcal{PT})^{-1}=H$.  Without loss of generality, we also assume $H_{0}$ is not commutating with $H_{p}$ and thus $H_{p}$ perturbatively mix the eigenstates of $H_{0}$.

Let us employ the perturbation theory to analyze the impact of $H_{p}$ on the spectra of $H_{0}$. Specifically, for the zero-order eigenstates $|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle$ and eigenvalues $E_{\xi}$, which satisfy $H_{0}|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle=E_{\xi}|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle$, the perturbation expansion of Schrodinger equation is given by
\begin{equation}\label{eq:perturbation_theory}
\begin{split}
&(H_{0}+\text{i}\lambda V_{p})(|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle+|\Psi_{\xi}^{(1)}\rangle+\cdots)=\\
&(E_{\lambda}+E_{\xi}^{(1)}+\cdots)(|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle+|\Psi_{\xi}^{(1)}\rangle+\cdots),
\end{split}
\end{equation}
where $|\Psi_{\xi}^{(n)}\rangle$ and $E_{\xi}^{(n)}$ are the $n$-th order corrections of the eigenstates and eigenenergies. By matching order by order, we derive
\begin{equation}\label{eq:perturbation_expansion}
\begin{split}
&H_{0}|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle=E_{\xi}|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle,\\
&H_{0}|\Psi_{\xi}^{(1)}\rangle+\text{i}\lambda V_{p}|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle= E_{\xi}|\Psi_{\xi}^{(1)}\rangle+E_{\xi}^{(1)}|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle,\\
&\cdots
\end{split}
\end{equation}
Multiplying $\langle\Psi_{\xi}|$ from left, we derive $E_{\xi}^{(1)}=\text{i}\lambda \langle\Psi_{\xi}|V_{p}|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle$, as $\langle\Psi_{\xi}|\Psi_{\xi}^{(1)}\rangle=0$.

By noting that $\mathcal{PT}iV_{p}(\mathcal{PT})^{-1}=-i\mathcal{PT}V_{p}(\mathcal{PT})^{-1}=iV_{p}$, then we derive $\mathcal{PT}V_{p}(\mathcal{PT})^{-1}=-1$. On the other hand, $\mathcal{PT}H_{0}(\mathcal{PT})^{-1}=H_{0}$, and thus $\mathcal{PT}H_{0}|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle=H_{0}(\mathcal{PT}|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle=E(\mathcal{PT}|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle)$. It follows that $\mathcal{PT}|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle=e^{i\phi}|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle$ with certain a phase $\phi$, and $E_{\xi}^{(1)}=\text{i}\lambda \langle\Psi_{\xi}|(\mathcal{PT})^{-1}(\mathcal{PT})V_{p}(\mathcal{PT})^{-1}(\mathcal{PT})|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle=-E_{\xi}^{(1)}$, provided $|\Psi_{\xi}\rangle$ is not degenerate. It implies $E_{\xi}^{(1)}=0$.

\end{figure}

The second-order corrections of energy, $E_{\xi}^{(2)}=-\lambda^2\sum_{\bar{\xi}\neq\xi}|\langle\Psi_{\xi}|V_{p}|\Psi_{\bar{\xi}}\rangle|^2/(E_{\xi}-E_{\bar{\xi}})$, thus becomes dominant. We assume that the energy gap between the two states $|\Psi_{\xi=e,g}\rangle$ becomes small (anti-crossing) and even close when tuning $\eta$. In the regime where the energy gap is small, we can assume other levels are relatively far from $|\Psi_{g}\rangle$ and $|\Psi_{e}\rangle$. The above expression of $E_{\xi}^{(2)}$ implies the dissipative perturbation leads to the higher eigenvalue $E_{e}$ tend to be decreased and lower one $E_{g}$ is increased. Then an energy gap tends to be closed by an dissipative perturbation, in contrast to the case of Hermitian perturbation, which usually opens an energy gap or enhances the anti-crossing effect. Assuming the two levels whose energy gap is to be considered are $|\Psi_{g}\rangle$ and $|\Psi_{e}\rangle$ with $E_{e}>E_{g}$, when the perturbation strength $\lambda\ll \Delta E\equiv(E_{e}-E_{g})$, the energy gap becomes small but is still real and finite. The spectra are still real and the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry is unbroken. When $\Delta E\ll\lambda$, the dissipative perturbation becomes dominant, and degenerate perturbation can be approximately applicable. Since the perturbation matrix,
\begin{equation}
M=i\lambda\left(
  \begin{array}{cc}
    \langle\Psi_{e}| V_{p}|\Psi_{e}\rangle & \langle\Psi_{e}| V_{p}|\Psi_{g}\rangle \\
    \langle\Psi_{g}| V_{p}|\Psi_{e}\rangle & \langle\Psi_{g}| V_{p}|\Psi_{g}\rangle \\
  \end{array}
\right),
\end{equation}
is a skew-Hermitian matrix satisfying $M^{\dagger}=-M$ and thus has purely imaginary spectra. The $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry is broken in this regime.

Although the critical value of $\lambda$ corresponding to the EPs that connect the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry broken and unbroken regimes can not be fixed in the perturbation analysis, the form of $E_{\xi}^{(2)}$ indicates it should occur when $\lambda$ is comparable with the zero-order energy gap $\Delta E$. Since $\lambda$ is small, the breaking of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry will only happen in the small gap regime of $H_{0}$. Therefore, a PTBB, with imaginary spectra inside and two EPs at the ends, will emerge when tuning the coupling strength $\eta$ across the gap-closing points or anticrossing points with small minimum gap of $H_{0}$.

\end{table*}

\section{$\mathcal{PT}$-breaking bubbles under two-level approximation}
When the considered energy gap is small enough, a two-level model can be employed to approximately characterize the effect of dissipative perturbation. Hence we take the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric single-spin model, which has been densely discussed~\cite{wu2019observation}, as the example to elaborate our theory. A general Hermitian single-spin model is given by $H_{0}=\eta\sigma_{z}+\delta_{x}\sigma_{x}+\delta_{y}\sigma_{y}$, where $\eta$, $\delta_{x}$ and $\delta_{y}$ are real numbers. One model with gap-closing transition can be described with $H_{0}=\eta\sigma^{z}$, where the energy gap is closed at $\eta=0$. The model shows anticrossing as long as $\delta_{x}$ or $\delta_{y}$ is not vanishing. We take the imaginary perturbation as $H_{p}=i\gamma\sigma^{x}$. With the spin rotation around axis y: $\sigma_{x}\rightarrow\sigma_{z}$, such a perturbation can be implemented with state-dependent loss, which has been realized on different platforms~\cite{li2019observation, wu2019observation, ren2022chiral, naghiloo2019quantum}. The $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry is defined as the product of parity symmetry $\mathcal{P}=\sigma^{x}$ and time-reversal symmetry $\mathcal{T}=i\mathcal{K}\sigma^{y}$ with Hermitian conjugate operator $\mathcal{K}$, i.e., $\mathcal{PT}=\mathcal{K}\sigma^{z}$. $H_{0}$ thus possesses $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry so long as $\delta_{x}=0$. Then the case with gap closing typically possesses $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry. These properties are summarized in Tab.~\ref{tab:PT_gap}.

As predicted by our above perturbation analysis, by fixing $\gamma$ and tuning $\eta$, the transitions of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry in the eigenstates are observed once $H_{0}$ also possesses the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry, reflected in the transitions between real and imaginary spectra as exemplified in Fig.~\ref{fig:PT_few_spins}(a) with $\delta_{x}=\delta_{y}=0$. As discussion in following section, the spectral transition also emerges in another case with $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry: $\delta_{x}=0$ and $\delta_{y}\neq 0$, but which gives rise to anticrossing rather than gap closing.

The initial states are taken as $|\Psi(0)\rangle=\cos(\theta)|\Psi_{g}(0)\rangle+e^{i\varphi}\sin(\theta)|\Psi_{e}(0)\rangle$ with $\theta=\pi/3$ and $\varphi=\pi/6$, where $|\Psi_{g,e}(0)\rangle$ are the instantaneous eigenstates at moment $t=0$.

The red (blue) curves in the insets represent the real (imaginary) parts of the spectra.  The solid (dotted) curves in the sub-figures show the projection probabilities for the corresponding levels in the insets.

\end{figure*}

As shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:PT_few_spins}(a), a PTBB is observed at around $\eta=0$ in the case where $\delta_{x}=\delta_{y}=0$ (also in the case with $\delta_{x}=0$ and $\delta_{y}\neq 0$). The expectations of Pauli matrix $\sigma^{z}$ ($\sigma^{x}$) are vanishing when $\gamma<|\eta|$ ($\gamma>|\eta|$), accompanying the closing of real spectra, although that of $\sigma^{y}$ is always finite across the phase transition [Fig.~\ref{fig:PT_few_spins}(b)]. It implies the threshold for trigging the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking should be determined by the comparison between the energy gap between two eigenstates with opposite spin polarizations of $H_{0}$ (associated with $\langle\sigma_{z}\rangle$) and the imaginary perturbation (associated with $\langle\sigma_{x}\rangle$). This point is consistent with the linear dependence of bubble size with $\gamma$, as shown in the inset of Fig.~\ref{fig:PT_few_spins}(a). The emergence of the PTBB can be formally understood with the perturbation theory discussed in the above section. The total Hamiltonian $H=H_{0}+H_{p}$ possesses the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry $\mathcal{PT}=\mathcal{K}\sigma^{z}$. For the Hermitian single-spin system $H_{0}$, if we set the imaginary $\sigma^{x}$ term as a perturbation when $\gamma\ll \eta$, it leads to a second-order correction $\gamma^2/(2\eta)$ [-$\gamma^2/(2\eta)$] for the lower (upper) non-perturbation eigenvalues of $H_{0}$, as we discussed in the above section. On the other hand, when $\eta\ll \gamma$, a second-order correction $i\eta^2/(2\gamma)$ [-i$\eta^2/(2\gamma)$] is added to the lower (upper) non-perturbation imaginary eigenvalues of $H_{p}$ by the real $\sigma^{z}$ term, as a perturbation instead. Approaching the EP points, the energy gap monotonously decreases, and finally close at the EP points in order to smoothly connect the real and imaginary spectra, although the perturbation conditions gradually becomes invalid. We would like to note that again, this is completely different from the conventional Hermitian systems, where a perturbation coupling between two energy levels usually opens/enlarges a gap rather than leads to gap closing.

\section{Dynamical identification of energy gap closing}
We propose to identify the PTBB associated with the gap closing through a dynamical method. In general, the dynamical evolution in non-Hermitian systems shows distinct features with respect to Hermitian systems~\cite{shen2019landau}. It was argued that, due to the loss of the information of initial state when the system is adiabatically tuned across two consecutive EPs, the projection probabilities of final state onto the two branches of states coalescing at the EPs have equal values~\cite{longstaff2019nonadiabatic}. Here, we find this equal-probability behaviour is absent when the original Hamiltonian $H_{0}$ has no gap closing, even when the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry and thus EPs are still present. By employing these unique properties, we propose to identify the PTBB linked with energy gap closing with a cyclic time evolution covering the PTBB, as a mimic of Landau-Zener-Stückelberg interference~\cite{shen2019landau}. Specifically, we propose to start from a parametric point, e.g., $\eta=-1$, and tune $\eta$ across the PTBB at around $\eta=0$ and back to the start point $\eta=-1$. By observing the projection probabilities of final state for the instantaneous ground and excited states, which are connected with the states that coalesces at the EPs, we can gain the signature of gap closing. So long as the tuning speed is slow enough and adiabatic limit is approached, we can observe almost equal projection probabilities when $H_{0}$ indeed experiences a gap-closing transition.

\begin{figure*}
  \centering

  \includegraphics[width=14cm]{Fig_probability_difference}\\
  \caption{The difference between the probability amplitudes $|\Delta |C||=||C_{2}|-|C_{1}||$ for different initial states in cyclic evolution. The initial states are taken as $|\Psi(0)\rangle=\cos(\theta)|\Psi_{g}(0)\rangle+e^{i\varphi}\sin(\theta)|\Psi_{e}(0)\rangle$, where $\varphi$ is arbitrarily fixed at $\pi/6$ and $\theta$ is scanned.  These sub-figures have the same parameters as the corresponding sub-figures in Fig.~\ref{fig:circle_evolution}. }\label{fig:amplitude_difference}
\end{figure*}

The instantaneous projection probabilities and spectra (insets) of a cyclic time evolution ($\eta(t)=-1+\alpha t$ when $t<t_{f}$ and $\eta(t)=1-\alpha t$ when $t>t_{f}$ with $\alpha=1/15$) are shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:circle_evolution} for different parameters (all with arbitrary units in this paper). The upper and lower rows of subfigures show the cases without and with dissipative perturbations. The three sub-figures from left to right correspond to the Hamiltonians $H_{0}=\eta(t)\sigma_{z}$, $\eta(t)\sigma_{z}+\delta_{x}\sigma_x$ and $\eta(t)\sigma_{z}+\delta_{y}\sigma_y$ (i.e., $H=\eta(t)\sigma_{z}+i\gamma\sigma_{x}$, $\eta(t)\sigma_{z}+\delta_{x}\sigma_x+i\gamma\sigma_{x}$ and $\eta(t)\sigma_{z}+\delta_{y}\sigma_y+i\gamma\sigma_{x}$), respectively. The initial state is prepared as an arbitrary superposition of the eigenstates of the lower and higher levels at $t=0$. As shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:circle_evolution}(a), where $H=H_{0}=\eta(t)\sigma_{z}$, the instantaneous state has invariant projection probabilities for the eigenstates, although the spectra show a gap closing. It is because there is no any coupling between the ground and excited states. When the imaginary perturbation is present, i.e., $H=H_{0}+H_{p}=\eta(t)\sigma_{z}+i\gamma H_{p}$ , where a PTBB emerges at around the gap-closing point [see the inset of Fig.~\ref{fig:circle_evolution}(d)], the instantaneous projection probabilities for the two levels take almost the same instantaneous values after passing the EPs [see Fig.~\ref{fig:circle_evolution}(d)]. This is a good signature for probing the gap-closing transition in the original Hamiltonian $H_{0}$.

Let us further discuss the cases where the gap closing in $H_{0}$ is absent. Upon (a) and (d), a real spin term $\delta_{x}\sigma^{x}$ is introduced to (b) and (e). This real spin term prevents the gap closing at $\eta=0$ and leads to anticrossing at around $\eta=0$. Besides, it also breaks the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry, because $\mathcal{K}\sigma^{z}\sigma^{x}\sigma^{z}\mathcal{K}^{\dagger}=-\sigma^{x}$ as discussed above. In Fig.~\ref{fig:circle_evolution} (b), where the imaginary perturbation is not turned on, it is shown the spectra indeed has a finite gap when $\eta=0$ [see the inset]. The finite real energy gap allows the Landau-Zener tunneling from lower level to the higher level and the instantaneous projection probabilities unequally distributes. When the time evolution tends to the adiabatic limit $\delta_{x}^2/\alpha\gg1$ (here $\delta_{x}^2/\alpha\sim 0.34$), the projection probabilities should keep constant as the energy gap completely suppresses the tunneling. Due to the absence of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry, the spectra in the case with imaginary perturbation [see inset of (e)] always have imaginary parts, and the instantaneous projection probability of the level with positive imaginary spectra is amplified after long-time evolution and becomes dominant.

In Fig.~\ref{fig:circle_evolution} (c) and (f), another kind of real term $\delta_{y}\sigma^{y}$ is introduced into $H_{0}$ to break the gap closing. This perturbation also opens a finite gap at $\eta=0$ and thus leads to anticrossing as well. But unlike (b) and (e), the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry is still preserved in this case, since $\mathcal{K}\sigma^{z}\sigma^{y}\sigma^{z}\mathcal{K}^{\dagger}=\sigma^{y}$. The behaviours of the time evolution in the case without imaginary perturbation look like the case with $\delta_{x}$ term [see (c)]. When the time evolution tends to the adiabatic limit $\delta_{y}^2/\alpha\gg 1$, the projection probabilities should also keep constant, while it is not in this limit here because $\delta_{y}^2/\alpha\sim 0.34$. The fluctuations in the projection probabilities in the figure is due to the Landau-zener tunneling for non-adiabatic evolution. What we want to emphasize is that, although the energy gap closes and a PTBB emerges when the imaginary perturbation is tuned on and is large enough, i.e., $\gamma>\delta_{y}$ [see the inset of (f); note that the gap is still open when $\gamma<\delta_{y}$], owing to the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry is preserved in both $H_{0}$ and $H$, the projection probabilities do not show the equality like the case with gap closing like (d). This observation has not been reported previously, since only the cases without $\sigma_{y}$ term has been discussed~\cite{longstaff2019nonadiabatic}. Therefore, the equality of instantaneous projection probabilities only can be observed in the case where $H_{0}$ has a gap-closing transition when the dissipative perturbation is turned on, and can be employed as a unique signature of gap closing in $H_{0}$.

Although, the analysis in Ref.~\cite{longstaff2019nonadiabatic} shows that the equality of projection probabilities survive under the adiabatic condition $\gamma^2/\alpha\gg 1$ for model $H=\eta\sigma_{z}+i\gamma\sigma_{x}$, where $\alpha$ is the tuning speed of $\eta$, the same with our model in Fig.~\ref{fig:circle_evolution} (d). In order to mimic the realistic situation, where the adiabaticity may be hard to be satisfied, we take $t_{f}=15$ and thus $\gamma^2/\alpha\sim 0.6$ here. We would like to note that, even in this case, as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:circle_evolution}, it shows almost perfect coincidence in the projection probabilities of the final instantaneous states for the two levels. It implies this phenomenon is not strongly dependent on the adiabatic condition. Another point needs to be denoted is that, our models actually have neglected the background loss term which usually exist in experiment and thus the probabilities become larger than one. The background loss term is proportional to $\gamma$ and leads to a scaling of $\exp(-2\gamma t_{f})\sim 1/400$ in the final probabilities. It means the effective final probabilities is about $20/400=5\%$ in Fig.~\ref{fig:circle_evolution} (d). We will lose about $95\%$ of particles in the experiment.

\section{Variation of initial states}
The presence of equal redistribution is also independent on the preparation of initial state. In Fig.~\ref{fig:amplitude_difference}, the differences between the instantaneous projection amplitudes are shown for different initial states. From this figure, we can find the differences between the instantaneous projection probabilities are almost absent for any initial states in the case with gap closing. In contrast, the final probability differences are not vanishing and varies for different initial states in all other cases (including the case with both anticrossing and $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry and that with anticrossing but without $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry) as discussed in Fig.~\ref{fig:circle_evolution}. This implies we do not need to elaborate a special initial state to identify the gap-closing transition in the experiment.

\section{Discussions and conclusion}
From the above discussions, the proposed scheme can be expanded into following steps. In order to identify the gap closing in a system, we first need to introduce a dissipative perturbation that is noncommutative with the original (zeroth-order) Hermitian Hamiltonian. Second, we need to tune the parameter which may lead to gap closing or anticrossing along a cyclic trajectory covering the possible critical point and observe the projection probabilities of the final states to check if the equal redistribution occurs. If the system always has a small gap, i.e., shows the anticrossing behaviour, rather than true gap closing, the equal redistribution will be broken. With these steps, we can identify the information if the system indeed has a gap-closing transition. We do not need to tune the parameter precisely to the gap-closing point, and elaborate the initial states, which are usually required in a conventional scheme. This provides us a paradigm for using dissipation in metrology.

In summary, we propose to identify gap closing with dissipative dynamics in Hermitian systems. It is shown that $\mathcal{PT}$-breaking bubbles (PTBB) with imaginary spectra emerge at around a gap-closing or anticrossing point in presence of dissipative perturbation. We further propose to identify the PTBB associated with gap closing with a cyclic time evolution across the PTBB. Our proposal should be able to be checked with techniques shown in current experiments~\cite{li2019observation, wu2019observation, ren2022chiral, naghiloo2019quantum}. It is crucial to confirm if a system indeed has gap closing in many situations. Conventionally, one need tune the parameter to the critical point and measure the energy gap with scattering strength to identify if the energy gap is indeed close. Our proposal does not require the fine tuning of parameter to the critical point and special preparation of initial states, and thus may be of special interest in some situations.

THERE'S A LOT TO INVESTIGATE AT SCIENCE CAMP.
Twelve-year-old Andora "Andi" Boggs and her new best friend, Colin Carter, couldn't be more excited to attend the prestigious science camp at the local university in Killdeer, Ohio. Unfortunately, Discovery Camp's curriculum appears to include much more than just chemistry and biology. From day one, the university is plagued by a series of pranks such as missing markers, loose crickets, and stolen scales. Campus security blames the mysterious janitor Polk, but even though Andi agrees he's acting suspiciously, she can't believe the gentle old man would do anything illegal. Then one prank goes too far and their chemistry professor is injured by an explosion in the lab, upping the stakes of the investigation. Andi and Colin must unravel the secrets behind the chemistry department and Polk's dark past before danger closes the camp for good.
In Andi Under Pressure there is a very interesting experiment that goes awry. In the above video the author Amanda Flower does the experiment in a supervised lab so you can see how it was supposed to turn out.
When I was a pre-teen I fell in love with the popular mysteries of the day like Trixie Beldon, Nancy Drew, and even The Boxcar Children. Now that I have grandchildren old enough to read we've been enjoying those old classics, but I must admit they are dated in spots.
We recently were introduced to the Andi Boggs series and it has been the answer to our outdated dilema. Andi is a delightfully precocious 12 year-old that is just brimming with curiosity. The first book in the series is entitled Andi Unexpected. It introduces all of the characters and has a wonderfully engaging mystery that the characters solve.
In book two, Andi Under Pressure, we meet back up with Andi and her friend Colin. They have been selected to attend a prestigious science camp called Discovery Camp. They are both excited to attend but soon after they arrive mysterious things begin to happen. The curious duo quickly dive in to investigate what is going on.
I enjoyed so much about this book. The characters are wholesome and display qualities that you would like for your children to emulate. My grands were engaged with the story and kept asking for just one more chapter. It was fun to listen to their guesses at what was really going on. If you have young mystery lovers in your life this would be a great book for them. While both of the books are related they can each be read as a stand-alone.


A Dundalk-based food company employing 169 people is to close. The Authentic Food Group, a UK company that produces frozen ready meals, was granted permission by the High Court on Friday to appoint joint provisional liquidators to Dundalk-based TAFC Manufacturing Ireland Ltd.
Ms Justice Caroline Costello was told the liquidators had not sought any power to continue trading and the order sought was to ensure an orderly wind-down.
"Unfortunately, there does not appear to be any alternative," Rossa Fanning SC, for the company, told the judge.
Since it was set up in 2014, the company has had just one profit-making year in 2016-17, when it made €400,000. Projected losses for year-end 2019 are €2.6 million and the parent company is no longer prepared to support it, the company's petition to the court states.
Shortly after incorporation in 2014, TAFC acquired the business and assets of the Kraft Heinz facility in Dundalk.
This happened because other companies within the group, in the UK and Germany, had reached capacity and there was a need to increase production and outsource to another facility. Dundalk fulfilled overflow orders placed with the UK company.
As of this month, the company owes €3.2 million to its UK sister and €4.6 million to the parent, it was stated.
Among the difficulties it faced were those associated with a new project with the retailer Iceland in 2015, which highlighted the inflexibility and limitations of the Dundalk facility.
This required a €1.8 million investment to enhance Dundalk. By 2017 there was also a €500,000 increase in the cost of raw materials along with further difficulties as a result of the sterling/euro exchange rate fluctuation. Overall there was an increase of €4.5 million in costs, the petition states.
In 2017 a project to develop a new premium range of frozen ready meals for a key customer ran into technical difficulties, leading to further unbudgeted costs, including extra shifts for employees to achieve targeted output.
Despite efforts to rectify the situation, very serious issues remained with the existing facility and the only option was to buy new bespoke equipment costing about €1 million.
Then last February the UK sister company was told a co-packing agreement with Kraft Heinz was to be terminated in February 2019. This placed increased reliance on the need for the parent to continue funding the loss-making operations.
In addition to all this, the TAFC owed nearly half a million in water rates, and despite regular payments to help pay off those arrears, on October 15th it was threatened with water disconnection. It also owed €500,000 in gas and electricity charges and was also threatened with the cutting-off of those supplies.
On October 19th the parent told TAFC it could no longer continue to fund its ongoing losses and the board decided to seek a wind-up.
Ms Justice Costello appointed Ken Fennell and James Anderson of Deloitte as joint provisional liquidators. The case returns to court on November 12th.
In a statement, Nik Basran, managing director of The Authentic Food Company, said: "We have faced some serious business challenges in recent months that have been specific to this site.
Authentic Food Company worker Alan Murphy pictured leaving the plant this evening after it was confirmed that the plant is to close. Picture Ciara Wilkinson.
Mr Murphy from Riverside Drive, Dundalk has two children and is due to get married next year. He said the communication with the workforce today came from the receiver.
There has been speculation locally for a number of weeks after it appeared stock was not being ordered.
The food company Heinz had worked from the same premises before The Authentic Food Company.
Workers are represented by the Unite trade union, whose representatives met with the liquidators at the plant this/yesterday evening.
Speaking after the meeting, Unite's Senior Officer in the Republic, Brendan Ogle, said that there are serious questions surrounding the proposed liquidation of the plant, and he said that Unite will be writing to Business, Enterprise and Innovation Minister Heather Humphreys over the weekend to update her on the union's concerns and seek an urgent meeting. Mr Ogle warned that Unite would not tolerate a repeat of the Clery's situation whereby workers and taxpayers were asked to pick up the tab for what he termed 'sharp corporate practice'.

Everyone has their own definition of 'Success' but being 'successful' or achieving a positive outcome is something we all aspire to at one time or another. Whether it be making money, becoming famous, enjoying more holidays and family time, more security or a combination of these, success equals achieving our own desired result. Have you ever wondered though, how some people seem to achieve everything they aim for, sometimes seemingly, with little effort?
Based on over twenty- five year's working with people and businesses, I have established that these people have seven habits in common, and by incorporating these you too can significantly improve your own chances of success in all areas of life.
1. Put Themselves First – they know the importance of investing in themselves by looking after their health, eating well, sleeping well and making time for their friends and families.
2. 'Keep Their Map Book Open' – they know where they are going and how to get there, but they appreciate that circumstances could mean the need to change direction. They always have a 'Plan B'.
3. Spend Less Than They Earn – However little they can spare, successful people always set something aside for a rainy day.
4. See 'Feedback' not 'Failure – Sometimes things don't go according to plan but successful people learn from their mistakes, treat problems as opportunities and keep going.
5. Know When and HOW to Say No – Taking on too much and becoming overwhelmed is one of the most common reasons for dissatisfaction or unhappiness in all aspects of life. Being able to say 'no' without burning bridges, leaves you with more time to focus on the things that matter to you.
6. Apply the 80:20 Principle – That is, they direct their effort and energy to the 20% of things, that make an 80% difference to their lives.
7. Believe in Themselves – as Mahatma Ghandi once said 'people often become what they believe themselves to be' Believing that you are a success can be the first step towards achieving it.
How much you achieve is down to you but the single most important key to success is taking action. So, don't just read about these habits, start developing them today and start getting the life that YOU want.

Kenneth David "Kenny" Kirkland (September 28, 1955 – November 12, 1998) was an American pianist/keyboardist.
1 Biography
1.1 Early life
1.2 Career
2 Discography
2.1 As leader
2.2 As sideman
Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1955, Kirkland was six when he first sat down at a piano keyboard. After years of Catholic schooling, Kirkland enrolled at the Manhattan School of Music, where he studied classical piano performance, classical theory and composition.
Kirkland's first professional work came with Polish fusion violinist Michal Urbaniak, touring throughout Europe with his group in 1977.[1] Coincidentally, his next high-profile gig was with another Eastern European jazz émigré, Miroslav Vitous. Kirkland is featured on Vitous' ECM recordings First Meeting[2] and Miroslav Vitous Group.[3]
In 1980, while Kirkland was on tour in Japan with Hino, he met Wynton Marsalis, which began their long association.[4] On Marsalis's self-titled debut album, Kirkland shared the piano duties with one of his musical influences, Herbie Hancock,[5] but was the sole pianist on Marsalis's subsequent releases Think of One,[6] Hothouse Flowers[7] and Black Codes.[8] After his association with Wynton Marsalis, Kirkland joined Branford Marsalis's band.[9] He is also on Marsalis's funk band album Buckshot Lefonque.[10] When Branford Marsalis assumed the high-visibility role of bandleader for NBC TV's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Kirkland became the band's pianist.[11]
In 1991, he released his debut as a leader, Kenny Kirkland, on GRP Records. Thunder And Rainbows (1991, Sunnyside Records), by "Jazz from Keystone", is a trio album with Kirkland, Charles Fambrough, and Jeff "Tain" Watts.[12]
Leading up to and on June 1–3, 1998, Kirkland worked with long-time associate Jeff "Tain" Watts on the drummer's debut recording Citizen Tain. According to producer Delfeayo Marsalis, "He was clearly not in good shape." When asked about going to the doctor, Kirkland responded, "After the session. If I go now, they'll make me check into a hospital." On June 4, doctors told Kirkland he had a congestive heart condition that required an operation. However, due to 20 years of road work without adequate vacations and a lack of physical exercise, his chances of surviving any surgery were deemed 50/50 or less. Fearful of going under the blade, Kirkland accepted his fate and was soon on the road with Branford Marsalis again. On November 7, 1998, Kirkland attended Marsalis's wedding in his home town of New Rochelle, New York. Kirkland was found dead in his Queens apartment on Friday, November 13, 1998.[13]
The official doctor's report listed his death as due to congestive heart failure. He was survived by his mother, a brother and two sisters.

Your work objective really should be brief, up to two sentences; it has to give your potential employers a concept of how you intend to proceed with your professional life. A tight profile or a summary should discuss whom you are and how your skills and experience best apply to the job you have an interest in. The summary, along with other aspects of your resume, should never contain private data that discloses ethnicity, sexual orientation, marital status, age, living situations, or another personal data which isn't directly related on your career. Personal profile/summary should only contain a few well-written sentences that convey what you can provide for the table the specific job. Use this to seduce the employer's attention, along with exaggerate in trying for being creative – stay professional.

List your title and much of your responsibilities, with concentrate on duties which can be applicable to the work you might be seeking. Your education ought to include college, graduate and post-graduate work, and any courses or professional certifications which are strongly related your job development. Achievements, volunteer positions, publications and interests should basically listed whenever they apply for your professional work experience References should be listed if requested; best practices suggest never to list generic statements about references being offered upon request because understood.
Inside the competitive, internet-driven world of job searches, your resume represents someone to potential employers. It serves for your tool to attract attention, get an interview and/or receive a job. A great resume forces you to differentiate yourself from other candidates by showcasing your aptitudes. Think about your resume when your sales pitch – you should sell yourself in the perfect way. Invest some time and research into developing your resume. You'll want to make certain that your resume is error free – double look at your grammar and spelling, make certain that all company and school names and cities are spelled properly.

The trickiest and frustrating a part of any resume is definitely the listing of your experience, regardless of the level you reach as part of your professional career. The bottom line is to contemplate your career objective and prioritize your work matching for a goals.
Your professional experience ought not only showcase those actions you've done with your previous jobs, but should demonstrate your qualifications in the way that motivates employers to want to know more. Certainly, we're referring to results, any tangible, measurable items which might be impacting to the base line. Let your employers know your project came within budget, that you exceeded the timeline, you acquired X number newest customers, or that you increased sales by way of a double-digit percentage. Employers can wrap their marbles around numbers, since they're dedicated to them daily. You would like to let your potential employer know that you may think just like they certainly so you take results into thinking as the perform your livelihood on day-to-day basis.
To get started doing your projects history, begin each description with a power word, just like managed, developed, communicated, etc. Study and don't use anything except the power words and phrases that work for your industry. Be certain that the statements you list first under your employment responsibilities quantify your achievements – don't be scared to list out sales figured, customer acquisition rates, budget and timeline successes, or other figures that really help put your responsibilities within a context from the business/field you're working in. Be specific. In order to your statements are truly quantified is if you include numbers. Nevertheless you acquired new customers is really a lot totally different from proclaiming that you increased the consumer database by 10%. Is much more, this is the most important component of listing your employment descriptions on your own resume. Your employer wants to know besides what in college, but how well learn about it. Also, these statements really should be aligned with your career objective you included over the rest the resume. In order to get an occupation in project management, letting your employer know you managed a team of 20 people and the results you achieved will effectively highlight your qualifications. You have to quantify your work description statements in your resume; however, as a thing of caution, tend not to quantify all statements, just one or two that happen to be most crucial to your work and are goal driven. This shows your employer for you to think in terms of exceeding your goals. All subsequent descriptions of this responsibilities should secure the first a couple of items on your own list.
Being a final test, reach these comfortable shoes of this employer. Cross-check the job description and just be sure you address the qualifications required for the task with the details with your resume. Let your potential employer know you could have whatever they want, and are sure to have a great impression.

Crozes-Hermitage is by some way the largest appellation in the northern Rhône, yet only around 10% of its production is white, making it a nice surprise when you spot one on a wine merchant's shelf or on a wine list. Founded in 2009, Nicolas Perrin represents a coming together of two great Rhône families; the Jaboulets (Nicolas) and the Perrins. Beeswax, apricot and a hint of vinyl on the nose leads into a full-textured palate with refreshing acidity. Ripe stone fruits peek through the savoury wax, white flower and citrus flavours. A beautiful wine well worth tracking down.

Born in the town of Marea in Aleppo province, which has seen fierce fighting between rebels and regime forces for several months -- Abu Hudeifa has joined the Al-Nusra Front, blacklisted by Washington as a "terrorist" group.
He, however, bears no anger towards the United States and the focus of his hatred is clear.
"I don't hate the United States or the West... I just want Assad to leave my country and to stop killing people. That's why I joined Al-Nusra," he tells AFP.
Not much is known about Sunni Al-Nusra Front except that it is a jihadist group with roots in Iraq and has claimed some of the deadliest attacks against Assad's forces in the conflict roiling Syria.
Analysts say the group believes that the fight against Assad is a religious struggle to oust a regime dominated by members of Allawite community, an offshoot of Shiite Islam to which the president belongs. Some 80 percent of Syria's population is Sunni.
Many also believe that for months now Al-Nusra Front has been spearheading the anti-Assad rebellion even as the main rebel Free Syrian Army struggles to overcome divisions in its ranks.
Abu Hudeifa, who learnt his bomb-making skills from his older brother Ammar, says he joined the Islamist group for its adeptness at combat and not for its extremist ideology.
"Thanks to Al-Nusra, we will win the war ... only Al-Nusra is ready to fight to the death."
Ammar says his younger brother is only a fighter like him and not an extremist, like other members of Al-Nusra Front.
"My brother is much more open-minded than all the men in his group. He is no radical...He's just a fighter, like me," says Ammar, 28, who himself is a member of a mainstream rebel group and has swapped bomb-making for filming battles.
As children, Abu Hudeifa and Ammar spent long hours taking apart and then fixing remote-controlled car toys or any gadgets they could lay their hands on.
"I've always been good at fixing things," says Abu Hudeifa.
"When my mother's washing machine or fridge stopped working, or when my father's car broke down, I'd get my toolbox out and get working... Now my brother and I put our knowledge to practice in war," says Abu Hudeifa, who has sharp features and a short beard.
The brothers take great pride in their inventiveness, which however, has not been without cost. Abu Hudeifa has lost three fingers when a small plastic explosive blew up too early.
"We've made devices from scratch. I've made remote-controlled bombs that exploded as army vehicles drove past," he says.
"We've also packed pressure cookers with explosives. We close them tight with screws, heat them up for hours, then lay them on the road. When they explode, the cooker breaks up into shrapnel.
"They're very effective. We've even managed to destroy many army vehicles' armour that way," Abu Hudeifa says.
The two brothers share a raging hatred towards Assad for very personal reasons.
Ammar's wife was killed instantly when a rocket fired by regime soldiers struck the car she was travelling in.
"I'll never forget my brother's face when he heard his wife had been killed," says Abu Hudeifa.
The two also share the pain of being separated from their parents who fled their home for neighbouring Turkey when violence swept northern Syria.
"I want revenge ... I want to make Assad pay for my parents' misery in a refugee camp across the border. They are freezing to death," says Abu Hudeifa.
"I'm tired of watching friends and family being buried."

Save 25% on 3 of our marketing services focused on Amazon.com. This package includes a Kindle edition of your book, participation in the Amazon "Look Inside" program, and Amazon Cover Enhancement.Login to your Publishing Center first.
Amazon Author Pages convert more shoppers into buyers because people like knowing who wrote the book they are considering. If you are an expert who has published a non-fiction book, your Author page should share pertinent information about your expertise. If you are a fiction writer, your Author Profile is an invaluable space to build your brand. The same holds true if you are a poet or children's book author.
In fact, regardless of the type of book (or books) you have published, your Amazon Author Page serves one very important task: it sells YOU to your potential readers.
Amazon's "online equivalent" to browsing a bookstore. Books that participate in the optional "Search Inside" program through Outskirts Press feature a "Look Inside" icon over their Amazon cover image, which invites potential customers to electronically "flip" through a small section of the book. Amazon claims that books participating in this program enjoy "significant" sales improvement, on average, over books that do not. Equally important is the effect this participation has on your Amazon search results. More data about your book's content is stored by Amazon's computers, potentially resulting in more accurate and targeted search results and recommendations.
The importance of your product sales page on Amazon cannot be overstated. The trick is to include relevant, compelling, sales information (with a marketing slant) that will not only increase the number of people seeing your page (thanks to search engine optimization) techniques, but will also increase the number of those people actually buying your book.
Your book description should do a good job of pitching and selling your book independently of any other efforts you are taking. That means your Amazon sales content has to be written in such a way that helps search engines find your book sales page and motivates readers to buy your book. While it may sound simple enough, writing such a successful book description often takes time and research.
Our professional copywriters spend a lot of time around books. We know what makes shoppers buy books. And our marketing folks know what content search engines respond to. By combining these skills with the Amazon Listing Optimization option, your Search Engine Optimized and "Polished" sales content means more people can potentially find your book with less effort on your part.
"I'm writing to say how pleased I am with the Amazon Launch Bundle package that I purchased recently. I was delighted when I went to Amazon's website and found my book picture there with the look inside the book and sample texts. I did not have to do the work to establish that feature or wait a lengthy time for it to appear. Thanks Outskirts Press for this marketing option."

Hirabayashi's act of courage and resistance memorialized
May 29, 2017 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Members of the Metropolitan King County Council unveiled a plaque of Gordon Hirabayashi for refusing to comply with Executive Order 9066.
On May 15, County Council Vice Chair Rod Dembowski unveiled a plaque honoring Hirabayashi in the County Council's lobby, just steps away from where Hirabayashi was imprisoned for refusing to comply with the order, which ordered the forced removal of Japanese Americans.
Hirabayashi's son Jay said it is "really significant for our family to have my dad's sojourn recognized as a significant stand for the rights of all Americans."
Also in attendance at the ceremony were members of Hirabayashi's legal team, who successfully fought to overturn his conviction in the 1980s.
