On a class of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with tridiagonal matrix representation
arXiv:2109.14540 · doi:10.1016/j.aop.2022.169008
Abstract
We show that some non-Hermitian Hamiltonian operators with tridiagonal matrix representation may be quasi Hermitian or similar to Hermitian operators. In the class of Hamiltonian operators discussed here the transformation is given by a Hermitian, positive-definite, diagonal operator. We show that there is an important difference between open boundary conditions and periodic ones. We illustrate the theoretical results by means of two simple, widely used, models.
