Over the past decade, non-Hermitian, $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians have been investigated as candidates for both, a fundamental, unitary, quantum theory, and open systems with a non-unitary time evolution. In this paper, we investigate the implications of the former approach in the context of the latter. Motivated by the invariance of the $mathcal{PT}$ (inner) product under time evolution, we discuss the dynamics of wave-function phases in a wide range of $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric lattice models. In particular, we numerically show that, starting with a random initial state, a universal, gain-site location dependent locking between wave function phases at adjacent sites occurs in the $mathcal{PT}$-symmetry broken region. Our results pave the way towards understanding the physically observable implications of time-invariants in the non-unitary dynamics produced by $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians.
Open systems with gain, loss, or both, described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, have been a research frontier for the past decade. In particular, such Hamiltonians which possess parity-time ($mathcal{PT}$) symmetry feature dynamically stable regimes
We theoretically study the dynamics of typical optomechanical systems, consisting of a passive optical mode and an active mechanical mode, in the $mathcal{PT}$- and broken-$mathcal{PT}$-symmetric regimes. By fully analytical treatments for the dynami
Non-hermitian, $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians, experimentally realized in optical systems, accurately model the properties of open, bosonic systems with balanced, spatially separated gain and loss. We present a family of exactly solvable, two-d
The parity-time ($mathcal{PT}$) symmetric structures have exhibited potential applications in developing various robust quantum devices. In an optical trimmer with balanced loss and gain, we analytically study the $mathcal{PT}$ symmetric phase transi
We report the spectral features of a phase-shifted parity and time ($mathcal{PT}$)-symmetric fiber Bragg grating (PPTFBG) and demonstrate its functionality as a demultiplexer in the unbroken $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric regime. The length of the proposed
