Proposal

Exceptional Points (EPs) are points in parameter space where functions vary extremely sharply. They occur in a variety of physical systems, which allows for the development of ultrasensitive sensors. I am looking at a specific atomic structure called the "three-level lambda system" 3LLS, in which there are several EPs. I will show how EPs in this system can be mapped in 3D graphs. These graphs will provide experimentalists with laboratory parameters for designing atomic sensors based on EPs.
