Criteria are formulated both for the existence and for the non-existence of complex eigenvalues for a class of non self-adjoint operators in Hilbert space invarariant under a particular discrete symmetry. Applications to the PT-symmetric…
In some recent papers, the studies on biorthogonal Riesz bases has found a renewed motivation because of their connection with pseudo-hermitian Quantum Mechanics, which deals with physical systems described by Hamiltonians which are not…
A generic PT-symmetric Hamiltonian is assumed tridiagonalized and truncated to N dimensions, and its up-down symmetrized special cases with J=[N/2] real couplings are considered. In the strongly non-Hermitian regime the secular equation…
It has been established that a positive semi-definite Hamiltonian,$H$, that has a tridiagonal matrix representation in a basis set, allows a definition of forward (and backward) shift operators that can be used to define the matrix…
The quantum measurement axiom dictates that physical observables and in particular the Hamiltonian must be diagonalizable and have a real spectrum. For a time-independent Hamiltonian (with a discrete spectrum) these conditions ensure the…
A fundamental problem in the theory of PT-invariant quantum systems is to determine whether a given system `respects' this symmetry or not. If not, the system usually develops non-real eigenvalues. It is shown in this contribution how to…
Describing systems with non-Hermitian (NH) operators remains a challenge in quantum theory due to instabilities (e.g., exceptional points and decoherence) arising from interactions with the environment. We propose a framework to express the…
We extend the formulation of pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics to eta-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian operators H with an unbounded metric operator eta. In particular, we give the details of the construction of the physical Hilbert space,…
We present a large class of non-Hermitian non-PT-symmetric two-component Dirac Hamiltoninas with real energy spectra. These Hamiltonians are invariant under the combined action of "charge" conjugation (two-component transpose) and…
We in this paper study the quantization of a particle in an inverted potential well. The Hamiltonian is Hermitian, while the potential is unbounded below. Classically the particle moves away acceleratingly from the center of potential top.…
Second order supersymmetric approach is taken to the system describing motion of a quantum particle in a potential endowed with position-dependent effective mass. It is shown that the intertwining relations between second order partner…
When an eigenvector of a semi-bounded operator is positive, we show that a remarkably simple argument allows to obtain upper and lower bounds for its associated eigenvalue. This theorem is a substantial generalization of Barta-like…
In nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and in relativistic quantum field theory, time t is a parameter and thus the time-reversal operator T does not actually reverse the sign of t. However, in relativistic quantum mechanics the time…
In this article, we have introduced a $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model which is given as $\hat{\mathcal{H}}=\omega (\hat{b}^{\dag}\hat{b}+1/2)+ \alpha (\hat{b}^{2}-(\hat{b}^{\dag})^{2})$ where $\omega$ and $\alpha$…
Motivated by the fact that twice the Fourier transform plays the role of parity operator. We systematically study integral transforms in the case of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian. First, we obtain a closed analytical formula for the…
We find theoretical results on energy eigenvalues and corresponding supersymmetric Hamiltonians reflect contradictory behavior for negative values of A. furthermore the resulting supersymmetric partners potentials can be model scattering…
While Hermiticity of a time-independent Hamiltonian leads to unitary time evolution, in and of itself, the requirement of Hermiticity is only sufficient for unitary time evolution. In this paper we provide conditions that are both necessary…
We explore the relationship between approximate symmetries of a gapped Hamiltonian and the structure of its ground space. We start by showing that approximate symmetry operators---unitary operators whose commutators with the Hamiltonian…
Effective (i.e., subspace-constrained) Hamiltonians become, by construction, energy-dependent while all the energy-dependent forces prove non-linear because the energy itself is merely an eigenvalue of the Hamiltonian H. One of the most…
We show that a diagonalizable (non-Hermitian) Hamiltonian H is pseudo-Hermitian if and only if it has an antilinear symmetry, i.e., a symmetry generated by an invertible antilinear operator. This implies that the eigenvalues of H are real…
