Linking Scalar Elastodynamics and Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics
Linking Scalar Elastodynamics and Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics
Recent years have seen a fascinating pollination of ideas from quantum theories to elastodynamics---a theory that phenomenologically describes the time-dependent macroscopic response of materials. Here, we open route to transfer additional tools from non-Hermitian quantum mechanics. We begin by identifying the differences and similarities between the one-dimensional elastodynamics equation and …
