Summary

Noise-averaged dephasing signatures can distinguish non-Gaussian environments that share the same lower-order statistics.

A theoretical model links the largest exceptional-point order in a dephasing response to the number of independent noise sources and their higher-order statistics. An atomtronic readout is proposed; the result is not yet a device demonstration.

Why it matters

Noise-averaged dephasing signatures can distinguish non-Gaussian environments that share the same lower-order statistics.

Limits and context

  • An atomtronic readout is proposed; the result is not yet a device demonstration.

Key claims

  1. Noise-averaged dephasing signatures can distinguish non-Gaussian environments that share the same lower-order statistics.

    Qualification: An atomtronic readout is proposed; the result is not yet a device demonstration.
