Non Hermitian Operators with Real Spectrum in Quantum Mechanics
Examples are given of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian operators which have a real spectrum. Some of the investigated operators are expressed in terms of the generators of the Weil-Heisenberg algebra. It is argued that the existence of an involutive operator Ĵ which renders the Hamiltonian Ĵ-Hermitian leads to the unambiguous definition of an associated positive definite norm allowing for the standard...
متن کاملNon-Hermitian quantum canonical variables and the generalized ladder operators.
Quantum canonical transformations of the second kind and the non-Hermitian realizations of the basic canonical commutation relations are investigated with a special interest in the generalization of the conventional ladder operators. The opeator ordering problem is shown to be resolved when the non-Hermitian realizations for the canonical variables which can not be measured simultaneously with ...
متن کاملAnnihilation and creation operators in non-Hermitian supersymmetric quantum mechanics
Harmonic oscillators with a centrifugal spike are analysed, via a non-Hermitian regularization, within a complexified SUSY quantum mechanics. The formalism enables us to construct (factorize) the creation and annihilation operators. We show how the real (though, generically, non-equidistant) spectrum complies with the current SUSY-type isospectrality (degeneracy) in an unusual way. e-mail: znoj...
متن کاملNon-hermitian quantum thermodynamics.
Thermodynamics is the phenomenological theory of heat and work. Here we analyze to what extent quantum thermodynamic relations are immune to the underlying mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics. As a main result, we show that the Jarzynski equality holds true for all non-hermitian quantum systems with real spectrum. This equality expresses the second law of thermodynamics for isothermal...
متن کاملPseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics with unbounded metric operators.
I extend the formulation of pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics to η(+)-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian operators H with an unbounded metric operator η(+). In particular, I give the details of the construction of the physical Hilbert space, observables and equivalent Hermitian Hamiltonian for the case that H has a real and discrete spectrum and its eigenvectors belong to the domain of η(+) and cons...
