Pseudo-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics
A diagonalizable non-Hermitian Hamiltonian having a real spectrum may be used to define a unitary quantum system, if one modifies the inner product of the Hilbert space properly. We give a comprehensive and essentially self-contained review of the basic ideas and techniques responsible for the recent developments in this subject. We provide a critical assessment of the role of the geometry of t...
متن کاملExplicit Realization of Pseudo-Hermitian and Quasi-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics for Two-Level Systems
We give an explicit characterization of the most general quasi-Hermitian operator H, the associated metric operators η+, and η+-pseudo-Hermitian operators acting in C 2. The latter represent the physical observables of a model whose Hamiltonian and Hilbert space are respectively H and C2 endowed with the inner product defined by η+. Our calculations allows for a direct demonstration of the fact...
متن کاملRelativistic 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...
متن کاملFaster than Hermitian quantum mechanics.
Given an initial quantum state |psi(I)> and a final quantum state |psi(F)>, there exist Hamiltonians H under which |psi(I)> evolves into |psi(F)>. Consider the following quantum brachistochrone problem: subject to the constraint that the difference between the largest and smallest eigenvalues of H is held fixed, which H achieves this transformation in the least time tau? For Hermitian Hamiltoni...
متن کاملAn extended phase space for Quantum Mechanics
The standard formulation of Quantum Mechanics violates locality of interactions and the action reaction principle. An alternative formulation in an extended phase space could preserve both principles, but Bell’s theorems show that a distribution of probability in a space of local variables can not reproduce the quantum correlations. An extended phase space is defined in an alternative formulati...
