It is known that the perfect absorption of two identical waves incident on a complex potential from left and right can occur at a fixed real energy and that the time-reversed setting of this system would act as a laser at threshold at the…
The $PT$ symmetric potential $V_0[\cos(2\pi x/a)+i\lambda\sin(2\pi x/a)]$ has a completely real spectrum for $\lambda\le 1$, and begins to develop complex eigenvalues for $\lambda>1$. At the symmetry-breaking threshold $\lambda=1$ some of…
We demonstrate that a coherently-prepared four-level atomic medium can provide a versatile platform for realizing parity-time (PT) symmetric optical potentials. Different types of PT-symmetric potentials are proposed by appropriately tuning…
We discuss supersymmetric quantum mechanical models with periodic potentials. The important new feature is that it is possible for both isospectral potentials to support zero modes, in contrast to the standard nonperiodic case where either…
