Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics with Minimal Length Uncertainty

Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics with Minimal Length Uncertainty

We study non-Hermitian quantummechanics in the presence of a minimal length. In particular we obtain exact solutions of a non-Hermitian displaced harmonic oscillator and the Swanson model with minimal length uncertainty. The spectrum in both the cases are found to be real. It is also shown that the models are η pseudo-Hermitian and the metric operator is found explicitly in both the cases.

Comment on “Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics with Minimal Length Uncertainty”

We demonstrate that the recent paper by Jana and Roy entitled “Non-Hermitian quantum mechanics with minimal length uncertainty” [SIGMA 5 (2009), 083, 7 pages, arXiv:0908.1755] contains various misconceptions. We compare with an analysis on the same topic carried out previously in our manuscript [arXiv:0907.5354]. In particular, we show that the metric operators computed for the deformed non-Her...

Relativistic Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics

We develop relativistic wave equations in the framework of the new non-hermitian PT quantum mechanics. The familiar Hermitian Dirac equation emerges as an exact result of imposing the Dirac algebra, the criteria of PT -symmetric quantum mechanics, and relativistic invariance. However, relaxing the constraint that in particular the mass matrix be Hermitian also allows for models that have no cou...

Neutrino Oscillations and Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics

In this dissertation we firstly present a brief review of the Standard Model of particle physics, focussing on aspects of the model that prove most relevant in the context of explaining the observed oscillation of neutrinos. The phenomenology of neutrino oscillations is then introduced, and different possible extensions to the Standard Model that would allow for non-zero neutrino masses, thereb...
