Relativistic Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics
We develop relativistic wave equations in the framework of the new non-hermitian PT quantum mechanics. The familiar Hermitian Dirac equation emerges as an exact result of imposing the Dirac algebra, the criteria of PT -symmetric quantum mechanics, and relativistic invariance. However, relaxing the constraint that in particular the mass matrix be Hermitian also allows for models that have no cou...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillations and Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics
In this dissertation we firstly present a brief review of the Standard Model of particle physics, focussing on aspects of the model that prove most relevant in the context of explaining the observed oscillation of neutrinos. The phenomenology of neutrino oscillations is then introduced, and different possible extensions to the Standard Model that would allow for non-zero neutrino masses, thereb...
متن کاملPseudo-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics
A diagonalizable non-Hermitian Hamiltonian having a real spectrum may be used to define a unitary quantum system, if one modifies the inner product of the Hilbert space properly. We give a comprehensive and essentially self-contained review of the basic ideas and techniques responsible for the recent developments in this subject. We provide a critical assessment of the role of the geometry of t...
متن کاملOn Relativistic Non-linear Quantum Mechanics
The possibility that quantum mechanics itself could be non-linear has run up against difficulties with relativistic covariance. Most of the schemes proposed up to now engender superluminal communication, and those that don’t, have been equivalent to linear theories. We show in a simplified model that a proposal based on the consistent histories approach to quantum mechanics avoids the usual dif...
متن کاملFaster than Hermitian quantum mechanics.
Given an initial quantum state |psi(I)> and a final quantum state |psi(F)>, there exist Hamiltonians H under which |psi(I)> evolves into |psi(F)>. Consider the following quantum brachistochrone problem: subject to the constraint that the difference between the largest and smallest eigenvalues of H is held fixed, which H achieves this transformation in the least time tau? For Hermitian Hamiltoni...
