Abstract

Explicitly time-dependent pseudo-Hermitian (TDPH) invariants theory systems, with a time-dependent (TD) metric, is developed for a time-dependent non Hermitian (TDNH) quantum systems. We derive a simple relation between the eigenstates of this pseudo-Hermitien (PH) invariant and the solutions of the Schrodinger equation. A physical system is treated in detail: the TD Swanson model, where an explicitly TDPH invariant is derived for this system, the eigenvalues and eigenstates of the invariant are calculated explicitly.

Time evolution of quantum systems with time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonian and the pseudo Hermitian invariant operator

Mustapha Maamache, Oum Kaltoum Djeghiour, Walid Koussa +1 more

We study the time evolution of quantum systems with a time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonian given by a linear combination of SU(1,1) and SU(2) generators.With a time-dependent metric, the pseudo-Hermitian invariant operator is constructed in the same manner as for both the SU(1,1) and SU(2) systems. The exact common solutions of the Schrödinger equations for both the SU(1,1) and SU(2) systems are obtained in terms of eigenstates of the pseudo-Hermitian invariant operator.

On the η pseudo PT symmetry theory for non-Hermitian Hamiltonians: time-dependent systems

Mustapha Maamache

In the context of non-Hermitian quantum mechanics, many systems are known to possess a pseudo PT symmetry , i.e. the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian H is related to its adjoint H^{†} via the relation, H^{†}=PTHPT . We propose a derivation of pseudo PT symmetry and η -pseudo-Hermiticity simultaneously for the time dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonians by intoducing a new metric η(t)=PTη(t) that not satisfy the time-dependent quasi-Hermiticity relation but obeys the Heisenberg evolution equation. Here, we solve the SU(1,1) time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonian and we construct a time-dependent solutions by employing this new metric and discuss a concrete physical applications of our results.

Beyond PT-symmetry: towards a symmetry-metric relation for time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonians

Luís Felipe Alves da Silva

A new chapter in quantum mechanics has opened over the past 20 years with the fact that time-independent (TI) non-Hermitian Hamiltonians have a real spectrum and unitary time evolution when they exhibit an unbroken PT -symmetry and satisfy the pseudo-Hermiticity relation.In this Master's thesis, we first propose a method for the derivation of a general continuous antilinear time-dependent (TD) symmetry operator I(t) for non-Hermitian Hamiltonian H(t) and metric operator ρ(t) in a TD scenario.Assuming H(t) to be simultaneously ρ(t)-pseudo-Hermitian and Ξ(t)-anti-pseudo-Hermitian, we also derive the antilinear symmetry I(t) = Ξ -1 (t)ρ(t), which retrieves an important result obtained by Mostafazadeh [J.Math, Phys.43, 3944 (2002)] for the time-independent (TI) scenario.We apply our method for the derivation of the symmetry associated with TD non-Hermitian linear and quadratic Hamiltonians.In the TI scenario, we retrieve the well-known Bender-Berry-Mandilara result for the symmetry operator:].The results here derived allow us to propose a useful symmetry-metric relation for TD non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.From this relation, the TD metric is automatically derived from the TD symmetry of the problem.Our results reinforce the prospects of going beyond PT -symmetric quantum mechanics making the field of pseudo-Hermiticity even more comprehensive and promising.

Non-Hermitian Hamiltonian beyond PT symmetry for time-dependent S U ( 1 , 1 ) and S U ( 2 ) systems — Exact solution and geometric phase in pseudo-invariant theory

Nadjat Amaouche, Maroua Sekhri, Rahma Zerimeche +2 more

In this paper we investigate time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, which consist of SU(1,1) and SU(2) generators. The former Hamiltonian is PT symmetric but the latter one is not. A time-dependent non-unitary operator is proposed to construct the non-Hermitian invariant, which is verified as pseudo-Hermitian with real eigenvalues. The exact solutions are obtained in terms of the eigenstates of the pseudo-Hermitian invariant operator for both the SU(1,1) and SU(2) systems in a unified manner. Then, we derive the Lewis–Riesenfeld (LR) phase, which can be separated into the dynamic and the geometrical phases. The analytical results are well consistent with those of the corresponding Hermitian Hamiltonians reported in the literature.

Time-dependent pseudo-bosonic coherent states

Naima Mana, Omar Zaidi, Mustapha Maamache

In order to construct time-dependent pseudo-bosonic coherent states, first, we extend the non-Hermitian integrals of motion method to cases where the quantum systems are described by time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonians; second, we introduce a pseudo-bosonic annihilation operator defined as a time-dependent non-Hermitian linear invariant. The pseudo-bosons operators are a pseudo-Hermitian extension of usual boson operators. In fact, they are obtained from the modification of usual boson commutation relations where the annihilation and creation operators are related to their adjoint operators via the bounded Hermitian invertible operator or metric operator. Thus, the pseudo-bosonic coherent states are just obtained as eigenstates of the pseudo-bosonic annihilation operator. As an illustration, we study the time-dependent non-Hermitian Swanson Hamiltonian and we compare the obtained results with those in the literature (Swanson model but time-independent).
