1205.1847 (Hamidreza Ramezani et al.)

Bypassing the bandwidth theorem with PT symmetry    [PDF]

Hamidreza Ramezani, J. Schindler, F. M. Ellis, Uwe Guenther, Tsampikos Kottos
The beat time {\tau}_{fpt} associated with the energy transfer between two coupled oscillators is dictated by the bandwidth theorem which sets a lower bound {\tau}_{fpt}\sim 1/{\delta}{\omega}. We show, both experimentally and theoretically, that two coupled active LRC electrical oscillators with parity-time (PT) symmetry, bypass the lower bound imposed by the bandwidth theorem, reducing the beat time to zero while retaining a real valued spectrum and fixed eigenfrequency difference {\delta}{\omega}. Our results foster new design strategies which lead to (stable) pseudo-unitary wave evolution, and may allow for ultrafast computation, telecommunication, and signal processing.
