1303.0132 (W. D. Heiss et al.)

Spectral singularities in PT-symmetric Bose-Einstein condensates    [PDF]

W. D. Heiss, H. Cartarius, G. Wunner, J. Main
We consider the model of a PT-symmetric Bose-Einstein condensate in a delta-functions double-well potential. We demonstrate that analytic continuation of the primarily non-analytic term |psi|^2 psi - occurring in the underlying Gross-Pitaevskii equation - yields new branch points where three levels coalesce. We show numerically that the new branch points exhibit the behaviour of exceptional points of second and third order. A matrix model which confirms the numerical findings in analytic terms is given.
