Popis: Electronic fluids can display exciting dynamical properties. In particular, due to Landau damping, the collective modes spectrum of an electronic system with multipolar interactions is non-hermitian, and can present non-hermitian degeneracies called $\textit{exceptional points}$. In this work, we want to explore the dynamical properties of these degeneracies using laser control. We show that by using a light pulse, we can control the collective mode spectrum and tune a non-hermitian $\mathcal{PT}$ phase transition in which two exceptional points anhilate each other. At this transition, the gap closes with a cubic root signature, what defines a third order exceptional point.
