The non PT-symmetric exactly solvable Hamiltonian describing a system of a fermion in the external magnetic field which couples to a harmonic oscillator through some pseudo-hermitian interaction is considered. We point out all properties of both of the original Mandal and the original Jaynes-Cummings Hamitonians. It is shown that these Hamiltonians are respectively pseudo-hermitian and hermitian REF _Ref536606452 \r \h \* MERGEFORMAT [1] REF _Ref536606454 \r \h [2]. Like the direct approach to invariant vector spaces used in Refs. REF _Ref536606456 \r \h [3] REF _Ref536606457 \r \h [4], we reveal the exact solvability of both the Mandal and Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonians after expressing them in the position operator and the impulsion operator.
This paper explores quantum field theories with pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians, where PT-symmetric Hamiltonians serve as a special case. In specific regimes, these pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians have real eigenspectra, orthogonal eigenstates, and unitary time evolution. So far, most pseudo-Hermitian quantum field theories have been constructed using analytic continuation or by adding non-Hermitian terms to otherwise Hermitian Hamiltonians. However, in this paper, we take a different approach. We construct pseudo-Hermitian scalar and fermionic quantum field theories from first principles by extending the Poincaré algebra to include non-Hermitian generators. This allows us to develop consistent pseudo-Hermitian quantum field theories, with Lagrangian densities that transform appropriately under the proper Poincaré group. By doing so, we establish a more solid theoretical foundation for the emerging field of non-Hermitian quantum field theory. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
The non
PT− symmetric exactly solvable Hamiltonian describing a system of a fermion in the external magnetic field that couples to a harmonic oscillator via some pseudo-hermitian interaction is considered. We highlight all of the properties of both the original Mandal and Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonians. We show that the Mandal Hamiltonian
HM is non hermitian and non invariant under the combined action of the parity operator P and the time-reversal operator T Even if the previous properties are not satisfied, it has been proved that the Mandal Hamiltonian
HM is pseudo-hermitian with respect to P and with respect to
σ3 also [1,2]. Thus, we show that the original Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian is hermitian. We show the exact solvability of both the Mandal and Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonians after expressing them in the position operator and the impulsion operator, similar to the direct approach to invariant vector spaces used in Refs [3,4].
