Abstract

Searching for non-Hermitian, -symmetric Hamiltonians [1] with real spectra has been acquiring much interest for fourteen years. In this article, we have introduced a symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model which is given as where ω and α are real constants, and are first order differential operators. Because the Hamiltonian is pseudo-Hermitian, we have obtained the Hermitian equivalent of which is in Sturm- Liouville form leads to exactly solvable potential models which are effective screened and hyperbolic Rosen-Morse II potentials. Using convenient sinilarity transformations, we have obtained a physical Hamiltonian h for each case. Then, the Schrödinger equation is solved exactly using Shape Invariance method of Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics [2].

$\mathcal{PT}$ Symmetric Hamiltonian Model and Exactly Solvable Potentials

Özlem Yeşiltaş

Searching for non-Hermitian (parity-time)$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians \cite{bender} with real spectra has been acquiring much interest for fourteen years. In this article, we have introduced a $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model which is given as $\hat{\mathcal{H}}=ω(\hat{b}^\dagger\hat{b}+\frac{1}{2})+ α(\hat{b}^{2}-(\hat{b}^\dagger)^{2})$ where $ω$ and $α$ are real constants, $\hat{b}$ and $\hat{b^\dagger}$ are first order differential operators. Moreover, Pseudo-Hermiticity that is a generalization of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry has been attracting a growing interest \cite{mos}. Because the Hamiltonian $\mathcal{H}$ is pseudo-Hermitian, we have obtained the Hermitian equivalent of $\mathcal{H}$ which is in Sturm- Liouville form leads to exactly solvable potential models which are effective screened potential and hyperbolic Rosen-Morse II potential. $\mathcal{H}$ is called pseudo-Hermitian, if there exists a Hermitian and invertible operator $η$ satisfying $\mathcal{H^\dagger}=η\mathcal{H} η^{-1}$. For the Hermitian Hamiltonian $h$, one can write $h=ρ\mathcal{H} ρ^{-1}$ where $ρ=\sqrtη$ is unitary. Using this $ρ$ we have obtained a physical Hamiltonian $h$ for each case. Then, the Schrödinger equation is solved exactly using Shape Invariance method of Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics \cite{susy1}. Mapping function $ρ$ is obtained for each potential case.

$\mathcal {PT}$ symmetric Hamiltonian model and Dirac equation in 1+1 dimensions

Özlem Yeşiltaş

In this paper, we have introduced a symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model which is given as where ω and α are real constants, and are first-order differential operators. The Hermitian form of the Hamiltonian is obtained by suitable mappings and it is interrelated to the time-independent one-dimensional Dirac equation in the presence of position-dependent mass. Then, Dirac equation is reduced to a Schrödinger-like equation and two new complex non- symmetric vector potentials are generated. We have obtained a real spectrum for these new complex vector potentials using the shape invariance method. We have searched the real energy values using numerical methods for the specific values of the parameters.

Generalized Swanson models and their solutions

A Sinha, P Roy

We analyse a class of non-Hermitian quadratic Hamiltonians, which are of the form , where α, β are real constants, with α ≠ β, and and are generalized creation and annihilation operators respectively. Thus, these Hamiltonians may be classified as generalized Swanson models. It is shown that the eigenenergies are real for a certain range of values of the parameters. A similarity transformation ρ, mapping the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian H to a Hermitian one h , is also obtained. It is shown that H and h share identical energies. As explicit examples, the solutions of a couple of models based on the trigonometric Rosen–Morse I and the hyperbolic Rosen–Morse II type potentials are obtained. We also study the case where the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is symmetric.

We analyze a class of non-Hermitian quadratic Hamiltonians, which are of the form H = A † A + αA 2 + βA † 2, where α, β are real constants, with α ̸ = β, and A † and A are generalized creation and annihilation operators. Thus these Hamiltonians may be classified as generalized Swanson models. It is shown that the eigenenergies are real for a certain range of values of the parameters. A similarity transformation ρ, mapping the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian H to a Hermitian one h, is also obtained. It is shown that H and h share identical energies.

We also study the case when the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is PT symmetric. PACS: 03.65-w

Exactly solvable non-Hermitian Jaynes–Cummings-type Hamiltonian admitting entirely real spectra from supersymmetry

Pijush K Ghosh

It is shown that for a given Hermitian Hamiltonian possessing supersymmetry, there is always a non-Hermitian Jaynes–Cummings-type Hamiltonian (JCTH) admitting entirely real spectra. The parent supersymmetric Hamiltonian and the corresponding non-Hermitian JCTH are simultaneously diagonalizable. The exact eigenstates of these non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are constructed algebraically for certain shape-invariant potentials, including a non-Hermitian version of the standard Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model for which the parent supersymmetric Hamiltonian is the superoscillator. It is also shown that a non-Hermitian version of the several physically motivated generalizations of the JC model admits entirely real spectra. The positive-definite metric operator in the Hilbert space is constructed explicitly along with the introduction of a new inner product structure, so that the eigenstates form a complete set of orthonormal vectors and the time evolution is unitary.

One-dimensional Schrödinger operators with -symmetric zero-range potentials

Sergio A Albeverio, Сергей Александрович Кужель

Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians appearing as operator realizations of -symmetric (-symmetric in physical literature) zero-range singular perturbations of one-dimensional Schrodinger operators are studied. In particular, Hamiltonians with a real spectrum are described in terms of parameters of singular perturbations and, moreover, it is shown that only part of them are similar to Hermitian ones. In this case, they can be used as exactly solvable models of -symmetric quantum mechanics.

PT\mathcal{PT}PT Symmetric Hamiltonian Model and Exactly Solvable Potentials

In this article, we have introduced a PT\mathcal{PT}PT symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model which is given as H^=ω(b^†b^+12)+α(b^2−(b^†)2)\hat{\mathcal{H}}=ω(\hat{b}^\dagger\hat{b}+\frac{1}{2})+ α(\hat{b}^{2}-(\hat{b}^\dagger)^{2})H^=ω(b^†b^+21​)+α(b^2−(b^†)2) where ωωω and ααα are real constants, b^\hat{b}b^ and b†^\hat{b^\dagger}b†^ are first order differential operators. Moreover, Pseudo-Hermiticity that is a generalization of PT\mathcal{PT}PT symmetry has been attracting a growing interest \cite{mos}. Because the Hamiltonian H\mathcal{H}H is pseudo-Hermitian, we have obtained the Hermitian equivalent of H\mathcal{H}H which is in Sturm- Liouville form leads to exactly solvable potential models which are effective screened potential and hyperbolic Rosen-Morse II potential. H\mathcal{H}H is called pseudo-Hermitian, if there exists a Hermitian and invertible operator ηηη satisfying H†=ηHη−1\mathcal{H^\dagger}=η\mathcal{H} η^{-1}H†=ηHη−1. For the Hermitian Hamiltonian hhh, one can write h=ρHρ−1h=ρ\mathcal{H} ρ^{-1}h=ρHρ−1 where ρ=ηρ=\sqrtηρ=η​ is unitary. Using this ρρρ we have obtained a physical Hamiltonian hhh for each case. Then, the Schrödinger equation is solved exactly using Shape Invariance method of Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics \cite{susy1}. Mapping function ρρρ is obtained for each potential case.
