The eigenvalue equations for the energy of bound states of a particle in a square well are solved, and the exact solutions are obtained, as power series. Accurate analytical approximate solutions are also given. The application of these…
Poeschl-Teller trigonometric potential well is PT symmetrically regularized at its "impenetrable" end-point barriers. This gives the four different solvable generalizations of the model and enables us to clarify some paradoxes encountered,…
The experimental realization of balanced gain and loss in a quantum system has been a long standing goal in quantum mechanics since the introduction of the concept of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry and has only recently been achieved. In this…
We construct PT-symmetric quantum mechanical models with an O(N)-symmetric interaction term of the form $-g(\vec{x}^{2})^{2}/N$. Using functional integral methods, we find the equivalent Hermitian model, which has several unusual features.…
Balanced gain and loss leads to stationary dynamics in open systems. This occurs naturally in PT-symmetric systems, where the imaginary part of the potential describing gain and loss is perfectly antisymmetric. While this case seems…
We study the properties of an N-site tight-binding ring with parity and time-reversal (PT) symmetric, Hermitian, site-dependent tunneling and a pair of non-Hermitian, PT-symmetric, loss and gain impurities $\pm i\gamma$. The properties of…
In recent reports, suggestions have been put forward to the effect that parity and time-reversal (PT) symmetry in quantum mechanics is incompatible with causality. It is shown here, in contrast, that PT-symmetric quantum mechanics is fully…
PT-symmetric Hamiltonians and transfer matrices arise naturally in statistical mechanics. These classical and quantum models often require the use of complex or negative weights and thus fall outside of the conventional equilibrium…
The bound state energies of a 1-dimensional finite quantum square well (FSW) can be determined using a geometric method, involving a smooth mapping between two copies of the complex plane. The method allows one to identify particular…
Standard power series are used to construct and analyze angular and radial spheroidal functions, which are necessary for solving boundary value problems for Helmholtz equation in a spheroid. With an advanced approach the low-lying energy…
A square potential well with position-dependent mass is studied for bound states. Applying appropriate matching conditions, a transcendental equation is derived for the energy eigenvalues. Numerical results are presented graphically and the…
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…
This paper investigates finite-dimensional representations of PT-symmetric Hamiltonians. In doing so, it clarifies some of the claims made in earlier papers on PT-symmetric quantum mechanics. In particular, it is shown here that there are…
The thermodynamical properties are calculated for a three-dimensional model of $N$ harmonically interacting spin-polarized fermions in a parabolic potential well. The obtained dependences of the chemical potential and of the internal energy…
The Hermiticity axiom of quantum mechanics guarantees that the energy spectrum is real and the time evolution is unitary (probability-preserving). Nevertheless, non-Hermitian but $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians may also have real…
The structure of the energy levels in a deep triple well is analyzed using simple quantum mechanical considerations. The resultant spectra of the first three energy levels are found to be composed of a ground state localized at the central…
We study a wide class of solvable PT symmetric potentials in order to identify conditions under which these potentials have regular solutions with complex energy. Besides confirming previous findings for two potentials, most of our results…
We study the case of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric perturbations of Hermitian Hamiltonians with degenerate eigenvalues using the example of a triple-well system. The degeneracy complicates the question, whether or not a stationary current…
For any central potential V in D dimensions, the angular Schroedinger equation remains the same and defines the so called hyperspherical harmonics. For non-central models, the situation is more complicated. We contemplate two examples in…
A method for determination of bound state energies for an asymmetric quantum well with an arbitrary shape of the bottom is suggested. It is shown that how the equation determining the energy levels can be easily derived if one knows the…
