Pseudo-fermions in an electronic loss-gain circuit

Abstract

In some recent papers a loss-gain electronic circuit has been introduced and analyzed within the context of PT-quantum mechanics. In this paper we show that this circuit can be analyzed using the formalism of the so-called pseudo-fermions. In particular we discuss the time behavior of the circuit, and we construct two biorthogonal bases associated to the Liouville matrix L used in the treatment of the dynamics. We relate these bases to L and L†, and we also show that a self-adjoint Liouville-like operator could be introduced in the game. Finally, we describe the time evolution of the circuit in an Heisenberg-like representation, driven by a non self-adjoint Hamiltonian. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
