Handedness of complex PT-symmetric potential barriers

Zafar Ahmed

Generally, when imaginary part of an optical potential is non-symmetric the reflectivity, , shows left/right handedness, further if it is not negative-definite the reflection…

A note on Coulomb scattering amplitude

Zafar Ahmed

The summation of the partial wave series for Coulomb scattering amplitude, is avoided because the series is oscillatorily and divergent. Instead, is obtained by s…

Number of quantal resonances

Zafar Ahmed, Sudhir R. Jain

Employing the concept of time-delay, a relation is found which counts the number of quantal resonances supported by a potential. Several simple and advanced illustrations include a…

A practice problem for Schr{ö}dinger transmission

Zafar Ahmed

We present the case of quantal transmission through a smooth, single-piece exponential potential, , in contrast to the piece-wise continuous potentials, as a ped…

Pseudo-reality and pseudo-adjointness of Hamiltonians

Zafar Ahmed

We define pseudo-reality and pseudo-adjointness of a Hamiltonian, , as and , respectively. We prove that the former yields the {\it necess…

P,T,PT, and CPT invariance of Hermitian Hamiltonians

Zafar Ahmed

Currently, it has been claimed that certain Hermitian Hamiltonians have parity (P) and they are PT-invariant. We propose generalized definitions of time-reversal operator (T) and o…
