A schematic model of scattering in PT −symmetric Quantum Mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
One-dimensional scattering problem admitting a complex, PT −symmetric shortrange potential V (x) is considered. Using a Runge-Kutta-discretized version of Schrödinger equation we derive the formulae for the reflection and transmission coefficients and emphasize that the only innovation emerges in fact via a complexification of one of the potential-characterizing parameters.

Quantum Squeezed Light Propagation in an Optical Parity-Time (PT)-Symmetric Structure
We investigate the medium effect of a parity-time (PT)-symmetric bilayer on the quantum optical properties of an incident squeezed light at zero temperature (T=0 K). To do so, we use the canonical quantization approach and describe the amplification and dissipation properties of the constituent layers of the bilayer structure by Lorentz model to analyze the quadrature squeezing of the outgoing ...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Stability for Temporal Bright Solitons in a PT-Symmetric NLDC
PT-Symmetry is one of the interesting topics in quantum mechanics and optics. One of the demonstration of PT-Symmetric effects in optics is appeared in the nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC). In the paper we numerically investigate the stability of temporal bright solitons propagate in a PT-Symmetric NLDC by considering gain in bar and loss in cross. By using the analytical solutions of pertu...
متن کاملScattering in PT -Symmetric Quantum Mechanics
A general formalism is worked out for the description of one-dimensional scattering in non-hermitian quantum mechanics and constraints on transmission and reflection coefficients are derived in the cases of P, T or PT invariance of the Hamiltonian. Applications to some solvable PT -symmetric potentials are shown in detail. Our main original results concern the association of reflectionless pote...
متن کاملFrom PT -symmetric quantum mechanics to conformal field theory
One of the simplest examples of a PT -symmetric quantum system is the scaling Yang-Lee model, a quantum field theory with cubic interaction and purely imaginary coupling. We give a historical review of some facts about this model in d ≤ 2 dimensions, from its original definition in connection with phase transitions in the Ising model and its relevance to polymer physics, to the rôle it has play...
متن کاملMHD α2−dynamo, Squire equation and PT −symmetric interpolation between square well and harmonic oscillator
It is shown that the α−dynamo of Magnetohydrodynamics, the hydrodynamic Squire equation as well as an interpolation model of PT −symmetric Quantum Mechanics are closely related as spectral problems in Krein spaces. For the α−dynamo and the PT −symmetric model the strong similarities are demonstrated with the help of a 2 × 2 operator matrix representation, whereas the Squire equation is re-inter...
