Scattering theory with localized non-Hermiticities
In the context of the recent interest in solvable models of scattering mediated by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians (cf. H. F. Jones, Phys. Rev. D 76, 125003 (2007)) we show that the well known variability of the ad hoc choice of the metric Θ which defines the physical Hilbert space of states can help us to clarify several apparent paradoxes. We argue that with a suitable Θ a fully plausible physical...
متن کاملOn Scattering from Localized non-Hermitian Potentials
We highlight the conceptual issues that arise when one applies the quasi-Hermitian framework to analyze scattering from localized non-Hermitian potentials, in particular complex square-wells or deltafunctions. When treated in the framework of conventional quantum mechanics, these potentials are generally considered as effective theories, in which probability is not conserved because of processe...

متن کاملScattering theory for Klein-Gordon equations with non-positive energy
We study the scattering theory for charged Klein-Gordon equations: (∂t − iv(x))2φ(t, x) + (x,Dx)φ(t, x) = 0, φ(0, x) = f0, i−1∂tφ(0, x) = f1, where: (x,Dx) = − ∑ 1≤j,k≤n ( ∂xj − ibj(x) ) a(x) (∂xk − ibk(x)) +m (x), describing a Klein-Gordon field minimally coupled to an external electromagnetic field described by the electric potential v(x) and magnetic potential ~b(x). The flow of the Kle...
متن کاملScattering theory using smeared non-Hermitian potentials
Complex, non-Hermitian potentials V (x) 6= V (x) can often generate the standard, normalizable bound states ψ(x). Unfortunately, the idea [based on the use of a nonlocal ad hoc metric Θ(x, x) 6= δ(x − x) in Hilbert space] cannot directly be transferred to scattering [cf. H. F. Jones, Phys. Rev. D 78, 065032 (2008)]. We complement and modify this result by showing that a return to the causal and...
