An effective interaction at the Planck mass and Planck length

WD Heiss

A simple model is suggested by assuming an effective interaction at the crossing point of the two curves, the Schwarzschild radius and the Compton wave length, that is at the Planc…

A model of three coupled wave guides and third order exceptional points

W D Heiss, G Wunner

A -symmetric model for three interacting wave guides is investigated. Each wave guide is represented by an attractive -function potential being in equidistant positi…

Spectral singularities in PT-symmetric Bose-Einstein condensates

W. D. Heiss, H. Cartarius, G. Wunner +1

We consider the model of a PT-symmetric Bose-Einstein condensate in a delta-functions double-well potential. We demonstrate that analytic continuation of the primarily non-analytic…

The physics of exceptional points

W. D. Heiss

A short resume is given about the nature of exceptional points (EPs) followed by discussions about their ubiquitous occurrence in a great variety of physical problems. EPs feature…

Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, Metric, Other Observables and Physical Implications

H. B. Geyer, W. D. Heiss, F. G. Scholtz

The metric associated with a quasi-Hermitian Hamiltonian and its physical implications are scrutinised. Consequences of the non-uniqueness such as the question of the probability i…

Instabilities, nonhermiticity and exceptional points in the cranking model

W. D. Heiss, R. G. Nazmitdinov

A cranking harmonic oscillator model, widely used for the physics of fast rotating nuclei and Bose-Einstein condensates, is re-investigated in the context of PT-symmetry. The insta…
