【报告人】Carl Martin Bender   the Konneker Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis

【主持人】龙桂鲁  北京量子院副院长、清华大学教授

【题    目】PT Symmetry

【摘    要】By using complex-variable methods one can extend conventional. Hermitian quantum theories into the complex domain. The result is a huge and exciting new class of parity-time-symmetric (PT-symmetric) theories whose remarkable physical properties are currently under intense study by theorists and experimentalists. Many theoretical predictions have been verified in recent beautiful laboratory experiments.
