We formulate a systematic algorithm for constructing a whole class of Hermitian position-dependent-mass Hamiltonians which, to lowest order of perturbation theory, allow a description in terms of PT-symmetric Hamiltonians. The method is…
New boson representation of the su(2)-algebra proposed by the present authors for describing the damped and amplified oscillator is examined in the Lipkin model as one of simple many-fermion models. This boson representation is expressed in…
In a recent paper a slightly modified version of the Bateman system, originally proposed to describe a damped harmonic oscillator, was proposed. This system is really different from the Bateman's one, in the sense that this latter cannot be…
By exploiting the freedom in defining the dual of spinors, we report an unexpected theoretical discovery of a quantum field theory of spin-half bosons. It fulfils Dirac's 1969-70 observation that "there must be boson variables connected…
A new kind of symmetry called partial PT symmetry has been considered for non-hermitian quadratic boson operators obtained from a bi-orthogonal set of vectors in C2. The symmetry behaviour has been understood in Fock space considered as a…
The main achievements of Pseudo-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics and its distinction with the indefinite-metric quantum theories are reviewed. The issue of the non-uniqueness of the metric operator and its consequences for defining the…
In this paper we investigate a family of models for a qubit interacting with a bosonic field. More precisely, we find asymptotic limits of the Hamiltonian as the strength of the interaction tends to infinity. The main result has two…
A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra, including Jordan normal form, biorthogonality, exceptional…
We consider a supersymmetric extension of quantum gauge theory based on a vector multiplet containing supersymmetric partners of spin 3/2 for the vector fields. The constructions of the model follows closely the usual construction of gauge…
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…
We demonstrate that exact supersymmetry can emerge in a purely fermionic system. This "supersymmetry without bosons" is unveiled by constructing a novel boson-fermion Dyson mapping from a fermion space to a space comprised of collective…
Dephasing in quantum systems is typically the result of its interaction with environmental degrees of freedom. We investigate within a spin-boson model the influence of a super-Ohmic environment on the dynamics of a quantum two-state…
A class of spherically symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonians and their \eta-weak-pseudo-Hermiticity generators are presented. An operators-based procedure is introduced so that the results for the 1D Schrodinger Hamiltonian may very well be…
We consider nonholonomic systems which symmetry groups consist of two subgroups one of which represents rotations about the axis of symmetry. After nonholonomic reduction by another subgroup the corresponding vector fields on partially…
We demonstrate how to discriminate two non-orthogonal, entangled quantum state which are slightly different from each other by using pseudo-Hermitian system. The positive definite metric operator which makes the pseudo-Hermitian systems…
Quantum dynamical semigroups are applied to the study of the time evolution of harmonic oscillators, both bosonic and fermionic. Explicit expressions for the density matrices describing the states of these systems are derived using the…
Many features of Bloch oscillations in one-dimensional quantum lattices with a static force can be described by quasiclassical considerations for example by means of the acceleration theorem, at least for Hermitian systems. Here the…
In a way paralleling the recently accepted non-Hermitian version of quantum mechanics in its Schr\"{o}dinger representation (working often with the innovative and heuristically productive concept of ${\cal PT}-$symmetry), it is demonstrated…
This paper builds on our earlier proposal for construction of a positive inner product for pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians and we give several examples to clarify our method. We show through the example of the harmonic oscillator how our…
The role of background in bosonic quantum statistics is discussed in the frame of a new approach in terms of coherent states. Bosons are indeed detected in different physical situations where they exhibit different and apparently…
