Bound states ofn-dimensional harmonic oscillator decorated with Dirac delta functions

Ersan Demiralp

Bound state solutions of the Schrödinger equation have been investigated for n -dimensional ( n ⩾ 2) harmonic oscillator potential decorated with any finite number ( P ) of Dirac delta functions. The potential is radially symmetric and given as , where σ i s are arbitrary real numbers, r 1 < r 2 < ⋅⋅⋅ < r P and r i ∊ (0, + ∞). We have demonstrated that addition of Dirac delta functions lifts the accidental degeneracies of n -dimensional harmonic oscillator energy levels and leaves only the degeneracy due to the radial symmetry. Explicit forms of bound state eigenfunctions and the eigenvalue equation are given for n , l values, where n is the space dimension and l is the degree of n -dimensional spherical harmonics. We have shown that, for given n and l , there are a countably infinite number of bound state energy levels which are continuous functions of ω, σ i s and at most P of them can be negative.

Pseudo-Hermitian Matrix Exactly Solvable Hamiltonian

Ancilla Nininahazwe

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.

Study about Pseudo-Hermitian Matrix Exactly Solvable Hamiltonian

Ancilla Nininahazwe

The non \(P T-\) 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 \(H_{M}\) 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 \(H_{M}\) is pseudo-hermitian with respect to P and with respect to \(\sigma_{3}\) 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].

A Non-Hermitian Relativistic Oscillator Exactly Mapped to a Hermitian Schrodinger Problem

Mustapha Maamache

We introduce the Dirac Inverted Oscillator, a new exactly solvable relativistic quantum system obtained through a Hermitian modification of the generalized momentum operator in the Dirac equation. In contrast to the conventional Dirac oscillator, where the generalized momentum is intrinsically non-Hermitian while the Hamiltonian remains Hermitian, the present construction reverses these Hermiticity properties: the generalized momentum becomes Hermitian, whereas the corresponding Dirac Hamiltonian is intrinsically non-Hermitian. This inversion leads to a new class of relativistic Hamiltonians within the framework of non-Hermitian quantum mechanics. Starting from the stationary Dirac equation, we derive the corresponding second-order wave equation and establish the generalized symmetry properties of the model, including pseudo-Hermiticity and pseudo- symmetry. We then prove that the Dirac Inverted Oscillator is exactly related to the conventional Dirac oscillator through a Hermitian but non-unitary similarity transformation generated by a dilation operator. This transformation is bijective and invertible, mapping the original non-Hermitian relativistic problem onto an equivalent Hermitian Schrodinger eigenvalue problem while preserving its complete spectral structure. The transformed Hermitian problem is solved analytically, allowing the exact relativistic spectrum and the corresponding eigenfunctions of the original non-Hermitian Hamiltonian to be determined explicitly. The present work therefore establishes an exact correspondence between a non-Hermitian relativistic Dirac system and a Hermitian Schrodinger problem, providing a new exactly solvable model and illustrating the effectiveness of Hermitian non-unitary similarity transformations for constructing analytically solvable relativistic Hamiltonians beyond the conventional Hermitian framework.
