We study one dimensional supersymmetric (SUSY) quantum mechanics of a spin 1/2 particle moving in a rotating magnetic field and scalar potential. We also discuss SUSY breaking and it is shown that SUSY breaking essentially depends on the…
While parity-time (PT)-symmetric systems can exhibit real spectra in the exact PT-symmetry regime, the PT-symmetry is actually not a necessary condition for the real spectra. Here we show that non-PT-symmetric photonic crystals carrying…
In this paper we introduce a new class of theories which dynamically break supersymmetry based on the gauge group SU(n)xSU(3)xU(1) for even n. These theories are interesting in that no dynamical superpotential is generated in the absence of…
