Wave transport and statistical properties of an open non-Hermitian quantum dot with parity-time symmetry

Björn Wahlstrand, Irina I. Yakimenko, K.-F. Berggren

A basic quantum-mechanical model for wave functions and current flow in open quantum dots or billiards is investigated. The model involves non-Hertmitian quantum mechanics, parity-time (PT) symmetry, and PT-symmetry breaking. Attached leads are represented by positive and negative imaginary potentials. Thus probability densities, currents flows, etc., for open quantum dots or billiards may be simulated in this way by solving the Schrödinger equation with a complex potential. Here we consider a nominally open ballistic quantum dot emulated by a planar microwave billiard. Results for probability distributions for densities, currents (Poynting vector), and stress tensor components are presented and compared with predictions based on Gaussian random wave theory. The results are also discussed in view of the corresponding measurements for the analogous microwave cavity. The model is of conceptual as well as of practical and educational interest.

Modeling of open quantum dots and wave billiards using imaginary potentials for the source and the sink

Karl‐Fredrik Berggren, Irina I. Yakimenko, Jani Hakanen

A heuristic model for particle states and current flow in open ballistic two-dimensional (2D) quantum dots/wave billiards is proposed. The model makes use of complex potentials first introduced in phenomenological nuclear inelastic scattering theory (the optical model). Here we assume that external input and output leads connecting the system to the source and the drain regions may be represented by complex potentials. In this way, a current may be set up between the two 'pseudo-leads'. Probability densities and current flows for an open quantum dot are analyzed here numerically and the results are compared with the microwave measurements used to emulate the system. The model is of conceptual as well as practical interest. In addition to quantum billiards, it may be used as a tool per se to analyze transport in classical wave analogues, such as microwave resonators, acoustic resonators, effects of leakage on such systems, etc.
