Quantum toboggans with two branch points
In an innovated version of PT −symmetric Quantum Mechanics, wave functions ψ (x) describing quantum toboggans (QT) are defined along complex contours of coordinates x(s) which spiral around the branch points x . In the first nontrivial case with x ) = ±1, a classification is found in terms of certain “winding descriptors” ̺. For some ̺0, a mapping x (s) → y(s) is presented which rectifies the con...
متن کاملVisualization of branch points in PT-symmetric waveguides.
The visualization of an exceptional point in a PT-symmetric directional coupler (DC) is demonstrated. In such a system the exceptional point can be probed by varying only a single parameter. Using the Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbation theory we prove that the spectrum of a PT-symmetric Hamiltonian is real as long as the radius of convergence has not been reached. We also show how one can use a ...
متن کاملQuantum toboggans: models exhibiting a multisheeted PT −symmetry
A generalization of the concept of PT −symmetric Hamiltonians H = p + V (x) is presented. For the usual analytic potentials V (x) (with singularities) and for the recently widely accepted “PT −symmetric” asymptotic boundary conditions for wave functions ψ(x) (selected inside a pair of complex wedges generalizing the usual x → ±∞ asymptotics), non-equivalent quantum toboggans are defined as inte...
متن کاملQuantum toboggans
Among all the PT −symmetric potentials defined on complex coordinate contours C(s), the name “quantum toboggan” is reserved for those whose C(s) winds around a singularity and lives on at least two different Riemann sheets. An enriched menu of prospective phenomenological models is then obtainable via the mere changes of variables. We pay thorough attention to the harmonic oscillator example wi...
متن کاملPT -Symmetric Quantum Field Theory
A new approach to quantum theories was proposed in 1996 in the context of the so-called δ-expansion [1]. The idea was to study non-Hermitian theories which nevertheless possessed positive spectra. Parity symmetry P was broken in these theories, as well as time-reversal invariance T . However, PT symmetry was unbroken. In early papers we examined scalar field theories with interaction [1] Lint =...
