Quantum Dynamics of Complex Hamiltonians

Abstract

Non hermitian Hamiltonians play an important role in the study of dissipative quantum systems. We show that using states with time dependent normalization can simplify the description of such systems especially in the context of the classical limit. We apply this prescription to study the damped harmonic oscillator system. This is then used to study the problem of radiation in leaky cavity.
