Gauging non-Hermitian Hamiltonians
We address the problem of coupling non-Hermitian systems, treated as fundamental rather than effective theories, to the electromagnetic field. In such theories the observables are not the x and p appearing in the Hamiltonian, but quantities X and P constructed by means of the metric operator. Following the analogous procedure of gauging a global symmetry in Hermitian quantum mechanics we find t...
متن کاملLinear Quantum Entropy and Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians
We consider the description of open quantum systems with probability sinks (or sources) in terms of general non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Within such a framework, we study novel possible definitions of the quantum linear entropy as an indicator of the flow of information during the dynamics. Such linear entropy functionals are necessary in the case of a partially Wigner-transformed non-Hermitian ...
متن کاملFock Space Representations for Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians
The requirement of Hermiticity of a Quantum Mechanical Hamiltonian, for the description of physical processes with real eigenvalues which has been challenged notably by Carl Bender, is examined for the case of a Fock space Hamilitonian which is bilinear in two creation and destruction operators. An interpretation of this model as a Schrödinger operator leads to an identification of the Hermitia...
متن کاملCritical parameters for non-hermitian Hamiltonians
We calculate accurate critical parameters for a class of non-hermitian Hamiltonians by means of the diagonalizationmethod. We study three one-dimensional models and two perturbed rigid rotors with PT symmetry. One of the latter models illustrates the necessity of a more general condition for the appearance of real eigenvalues that we also discuss here.
متن کاملOn Pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians and Their Hermitian Counterparts
In the context of two particularly interesting non-Hermitian models in quantum mechanics we explore the relationship between the original Hamiltonian H and its Hermitian counterpart h, obtained from H by a similarity transformation, as pointed out by Mostafazadeh. In the first model, due to Swanson, h turns out to be just a scaled harmonic oscillator, which explains the form of its spectrum. Ho...
