Non-Hermitian spectral effects in a PT-symmetric waveguide

Mathematical Physics 2009-11-13 v1 math.MP Quantum Physics

Abstract

We present a numerical study of the spectrum of the Laplacian in an unbounded strip with PT-symmetric boundary conditions. We focus on non-Hermitian features of the model reflected in an unusual dependence of the eigenvalues below the continuous spectrum on various boundary-coupling parameters.
