Matrix Hamiltonians with an algebraic guarantee of unbroken PT −symmetry

چکیده

Although the quantum bound-state energies may be generated by the so called PT −symmetric Hamiltonians H = PH†P 6 = H where P is, typically, parity, the spectrum only remains real and observable (i.e., in the language of physics, the PT −symmetry remains unbroken) inside a domain D of couplings. We show that the boundary ∂D (i.e., certain stability and observability horizon formed by the Kato’s exceptional points) remains algebraic (i.e., we determine it by closed formulae) for a certain toy-model family of N−dimensional anharmonic-oscillator-related matrix Hamiltonians H with N = 2, 3, . . . , 11.

P, T, PT, and CPT invariance of Hermitian Hamiltonians

Currently, it has been claimed that certain Hermitian Hamiltonians have parity (P) and they are PT-invariant. We propose generalized definitions of time-reversal operator (T) and orthonormality such that all Hermitian Hamil-tonians are P, T, PT, and CPT invariant. The PT-norm and CPT-norm are indefinite and definite respectively. The energy-eigenstates are either E-type (e.g., even) or O-type (...

We propose construction of a unique and definite metric (η +), time-reversal operator (T) and an inner product such that the pseudo-Hermitian matrix Hamiltonians are C, PT, CPT invariant and PT(CPT)-norm is indefinite (definite). Here, P and C denote the generalized symmetries : parity and charge-conjugation respectively. The limitations of the other current approaches have been brought out.

The S-matrix of the Faddeev-Reshetikhin Model, Diagonalizability and PT Symmetry

We study the question of diagonalizability of the Hamiltonian for the FaddeevReshetikhin (FR) model in the two particle sector. Although the two particle S-matrix element for the FR model, which may be relevant for the quantization of strings on AdS5×S, has been calculated recently using field theoretic methods, we find that the Hamiltonian for the system in this sector is not diagonalizable. W...

PT Symmetry on the Lattice: The Quantum Group Invariant XXZ Spin-Chain

We investigate the PT-symmetry of the quantum group invariant XXZ chain. We show that the PT-operator commutes with the quantum group action and also discuss the transformation properties of the Bethe wavefunction. We exploit the fact that the Hamiltonian is an element of the Temperley-Lieb algebra in order to give an explicit and exact construction of an operator that ensures quasi-Hermiticity...

Parity–time-symmetric whispering-gallery microcavities

Optical systems combining balanced loss and gain provide a unique platform to implement classical analogues of quantum systems described by non-Hermitian parity–time (PT)-symmetric Hamiltonians. Such systems can be used to create synthetic materials with properties that cannot be attained in materials having only loss or only gain. Here we report PT-symmetry breaking in coupled optical resonato...
