Complex Optical Potentials and Pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians
arXiv:quant-ph/0211008 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9601(02)01725-5
Abstract
Recently some authors have broadened the scope of canonical quantum mechanics by replacing the conventional Hermiticity condition on the Hamiltonian by a weaker requirement through the introduction of the notion of pseudo-Hermiticity. In the present study we investigate eigenvalues, transmission and reflection from complex optical potentials enjoying the property of pseudo-Hermiticity.
