ABSTRACT

We consider a spin half particle in the external magnetic field which couples
to a harmonic oscillator through some pseudo-hermitian interaction. We find
that the energy eigenvalues for this system are real even though the
interaction is not PT invariant.

##### Article: Exactly solvable non-Hermitian Jaynes-Cummings-type Hamiltonian admitting entirely real spectra from supersymmetry
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It is shown that for a given Hermitian Hamiltonian possessing supersymmetry, there is alwayas a non-hermitian Jaynes-Cummings-type Hamiltonian(JCTH) admitting entirely real spectra. The parent supersymmetric Hamiltonian and the corresponding non-hermitian JCTH are simultaneously diagonalizable. The exact eigenstates of these non-hermitian Hamiltonians are constructed algebraically for certain shape-invariant potentials, including a non-hermitian version of the standard Jaynes-Cummings model for which the parent supersymmetric Hamiltonian is the superoscillator. The positive-definite metric operator in the Hilbert space is constructed explicitly along with the introduction of a new inner product structure, so that the eigenstates form a complete set of orthonormal vectors and the time-evolution is unitary. Comment: 10 pages (v1); 18 pages, expanded version with several new results (v2); minor cosmetic changes, to appear in J. Phys. A: Math. & Gen

##### Article: Extended Jaynes-Cummings models and (quasi)-exact solvability
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The original Jaynes-Cummings model is described by a Hamiltonian which is exactly solvable. Here we extend this model by several types of interactions leading to a nonhermitian operator which doesn't satisfy the physical condition of space-time reflection symmetry (PT symmetry). However the new Hamiltonians are either exactly solvable admitting an entirely real spectrum or quasi exactly solvable with a real algebraic part of their spectrum. Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures, discussion extended, one section added

##### Article: Development of an approximate method for quantum optical models and their pseudo-Hermicity
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An approximate method is suggested to obtain analytical expressions for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the some quantum optical models. The method is based on the Lie-type transformation of the Hamiltonians. In a particular case it is demonstrated that $E\times \epsilon$ Jahn-Teller Hamiltonian can easily be solved within the framework of the suggested approximation. The method presented here is conceptually simple and can easily be extended to the other quantum optical models. We also show that for a purely imaginary coupling the $E\times \epsilon$ Hamiltonian becomes non-Hermitian but $P\sigma _{0}$-symmetric. Possible generalization of this approach is outlined.
