We consider PT-symmetric quantum graphs, in which the branching points provide PT-symmetric boundary conditions for the Schrödinger equation on a graph. For such branched quantum wires, we derive
RT-symmetric Laplace operators on star graphs : real spectrum and self-adjointness
• Physics, Mathematics

How ideas of -symmetric quantum mechanics can be applied to quantum graphs is analyzed, in particular to the star graph. The class of rotationally symmetric vertex conditions is analyzed. It is shown

The paper discusses quantum graphs with a vertex coupling which interpolates between the common one of the δ type and a coupling introduced recently by two of the authors which exhibits a preferred
Real Spectra in Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians Having PT Symmetry
• Mathematics

The condition of self-adjointness ensures that the eigenvalues of a Hamiltonian are real and bounded below. Replacing this condition by the weaker condition of $\mathrm{PT}$ symmetry, one obtains new
Quantum graphs: PT -symmetry and reflection symmetry of the spectrum

Not necessarily self-adjoint quantum graphs—differential operators on metric graphs—are considered. Assume in addition that the underlying metric graph possesses an automorphism (symmetry) P . If the

Abstract We quantize graphs (networks) which consist of a finite number of bonds and vertices. We show that the spectral statistics of fully connected graphs is well reproduced by random matrix

On finite metric graphs we consider Laplace operators, subject to various classes of non-self-adjoint boundary conditions imposed at graph vertices. We investigate spectral properties, existence of a
