Abstract

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.

Extended Jaynes–Cummings models and (quasi)-exact solvability

Yves Brihaye, Ancilla Nininahazwe

The original Jaynes–Cummings model is described by a Hamiltonian which is Hermitian and exactly solvable. Here, we extend this model by several types of interactions leading to a non-Hermitian operator which does not satisfy the physical condition of spacetime reflection symmetry ( PT symmetry). The new Hamiltonians are either exactly solvable admitting an entirely real spectrum or quasi-exactly solvable with a real algebraic part of their spectrum.

Deconstructing non-Dirac–Hermitian supersymmetric quantum systems

Pijush K Ghosh

A method to construct a non-Dirac–Hermitian supersymmetric quantum system that is isospectral with a Dirac–Hermitian Hamiltonian is presented. The general technique involves a realization of the basic canonical (anti-)commutation relations involving both bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom in terms of non-Dirac–Hermitian operators which are Hermitian in a Hilbert space that is endowed with a pre-determined positive-definite metric. A pseudo-Hermitian realization of the Clifford algebra for a pre-determined positive-definite metric is used to construct supersymmetric systems with one or many degrees of freedom. It is shown that exactly solvable non-Dirac–Hermitian supersymmetric quantum systems can be constructed corresponding to each exactly solvable Dirac–Hermitian system. Examples of non-Dirac–Hermitian (i) non-relativistic Pauli Hamiltonian, (ii) super-conformal quantum system, and (iii) supersymmetric Calogero-type models admitting entirely real spectra are presented.

On the construction of a pseudo-Hermitian quantum system with a pre-determined metric in the Hilbert space

Pijush K Ghosh

A class of pseudo-Hermitian quantum system with an explicit form of the positive-definite metric in the Hilbert space is presented. The general method involves a realization of the basic canonical commutation relations defining the quantum system in terms of operators that are Hermitian with respect to a pre-determined positive-definite metric in the Hilbert space. Appropriate combinations of these operators result in a large number of pseudo-Hermitian quantum systems admitting entirely real spectra and unitary time evolution. The examples considered include simple harmonic oscillators with complex angular frequencies, Stark (Zeeman) effect with non-Hermitian interaction, non-Hermitian general quadratic form of N boson (fermion) operators, symmetric and asymmetric XXZ spin chain in the complex magnetic field, non-Hermitian Haldane–Shastry spin chain and Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick model.

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].

Biorthogonal quantum mechanics for non-Hermitian multimode and multiphoton Jaynes–Cummings models

Jean Vignon Vignon Hounguevou, F. A. Dossa, Gabriel Y. H. Avossevou

We develop a biorthogonal formalism for non-Hermitian multimode and multiphoton Jaynes–Cummings models. For these models, we define supersymmetric generators, which are especially convenient for diagonalizing the Hamiltonians. The Hamiltonian and its adjoint are expressed in terms of supersymmetric generators having the Lie superalgebra properties. The method consists in using a similarity dressing operator that maps onto spaces suitable for diagonalizing Hamiltonians even in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. We then successfully solve the eigenproblems related to the Hamiltonian and its adjoint. For each model, the eigenvalues are real, while the eigenstates do not form a set of orthogonal vectors. We then introduce the biorthogonality formalism to construct a consistent theory.
