Spontaneous breakdown of PT symmetry in the solvable square-well model
نویسنده
چکیده
Apparently, the energy levels merge and disappear in many PT symmetric models. This interpretation is incorrect: In square-well model we demonstrate how the doublets of states in question continue to exist at complex conjugate energies in the strongly non-Hermitian regime.

Fragile PT −symmetry in a solvable model
One of the simplest pseudo-Hermitian models with real spectrum (viz., square-well on a real interval I of coordinates) is re-examined. A PT −symmetric complex deformation C of I is introduced and shown tractable via an innovated approach to matching conditions. The result is surprising: an arbitrarily small deformation I → C implies a sudden collapse (i.e., the spontaneous PT −symmetry breaking...
متن کاملOvercritical PT -symmetric square well potential in the Dirac equation
We study scattering properties of a PT -symmetric square well potential with real depth larger than the threshold of particle-antiparticle pair production as the time component of a vector potential in the Dirac equation. Spontaneous pair production inside the well becomes tiny beyond the strength at which discrete bound states with real energies disappear, consistently with a spontaneous break...

The PT symmetric version of the generalised Ginocchio potential, a member of the general exactly solvable Natanzon potential class is analysed and its properties are compared with those of PT symmetric potentials from the more restricted shape-invariant class. It is found that the PT symmetric generalised Ginocchio potential has a number of properties in common with the latter potentials: it ca...

متن کاملExactly solvable models with PT −symmetry and with an asymmetric coupling of channels
Bound states generated by the K coupled PT −symmetric square wells are studied in a series of models where the Hamiltonians are assumed R−pseudo-Hermitian and R2−symmetric. Specific rotation-like generalized parities R are considered such that RN = I at some integers N . We show that and how our assumptions make the models exactly solvable and quasi-Hermitian. This means that they possess the r...
