Contact interactions and Kronig-Penney Models in Hermitian and PT-symmetric Quantum Mechanics

Foster Thompson, Katherine Jones-Smith, Harsh Mathur +1

The delta function potential is a simple model of zero-range contact interaction in one dimension. The Kronig-Penney model is a one-dimensional periodic array of delta functions th…
