This paper investigates the collective non-Hermitian dynamics of two optically coupled nanoparticles exhibiting fully tunable non-reciprocal interaction. Parity-time symmetry breaking is observed, and, with sufficiently strong coupling, a collective mechanical lasing transition occurs, resulting in stable limit cycle particle motion. This work explores non-equilibrium multi-particle effects, controllable through individual site manipulation in a tweezer array.
