Zero width resonance (spectral singularity) in a complex PT-symmetric potential

Quantum Physics 2015-05-14 v1

Abstract

We show that the complex PT-Symmetric potential, V(x)=V1sech2x+iV2sechx tanhx,V(x)=-V_1 {sech}^2x + iV_2 {sech}x ~\tanh x, , entails a single zero-width resonance (spectral singularity) when V1+V2=4n2+4n+34(n=1,2,3..,V2>V1+sgn(V1)4)V_1+|V_2|=4n^2+4n+{3\over 4}(n=1,2,3.., |V_2|>|V_1|+ {{sgn}(V_1) \over 4}) and the positive resonant energy is given as E=14[V2(1/4+V1)]E_*={1 \over 4}[|V_2|-(1/4+V_1)].
