Model of supersymmetric quantum field theory with broken parity symmetry
Recently, it was observed that self-interacting scalar quantum field theories having a non-Hermitian interaction term of the form g(iφ)2+δ , where δ is a real positive parameter, are physically acceptable in the sense that the energy spectrum is real and bounded below. Such theories possess PT invariance, but they are not symmetric under parity reflection or time reversal separately. This broke...
متن کاملBroken versus Non-Broken Time Reversal Symmetry: Irreversibility and Response
We review some approaches to macroscopic irreversibility from reversible microscopic dynamics, introducing the contribution of time dependent perturbations within the framework of recent developments in non-equilibrium statistical physics. We show that situations commonly assumed to violate the time reversal symmetry (presence of magnetic fields, rotating reference frames, and some time depende...
متن کاملObservation of parity–time symmetry in optics
One of the fundamental axioms of quantum mechanics is associated with the Hermiticity of physical observables1. In the case of the Hamiltonian operator, this requirement not only implies real eigenenergies but also guarantees probability conservation. Interestingly, a wide class of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians can still show entirely real spectra. Among these are Hamiltonians respecting parity–ti...
متن کاملDiscrete vortex solitons and parity time symmetry.
We study the effect of lifting the degeneracy of vortex modes with a parity time (PT) symmetric defect, using discrete vortices in a circular array of nonlinear waveguides as an example. When the defect is introduced, the degenerate linear vortex modes spontaneously break PT symmetry and acquire complex eigenvalues, but nonlinear propagating modes with real propagation constants can still exist...
متن کاملAnti-parity–time symmetry with flying atoms
The recently developed notion of parity–time (PT) symmetry in optical systems has spawned intriguing prospects. So far, most experimental implementations have been reported in solid-state systems. Here, we report the first experimental demonstration of optical anti-PT symmetry—the counterpart of conventional PT symmetry—in a warm atomic-vapour cell. Rapid coherence transport via flying atoms le...
