Підтримка:This paper is a contribution to the Proceedings of the VIIth Workshop “Quantum Physics with NonHermitian Operators” (June 29 – July 11, 2008, Benasque, Spain). The author wishes to thank the organizers of PHHQP VII for their kind invitation to participate in the conference and for their warm hospitality.
We review the way to analytically continue the Lippmann-Schwinger bras and kets into the complex plane. We will see that a naive analytic continuation leads to nonsensical results in resonance theory, and we will explain how the non-obvious but correct analytical continuation is done. We will see that the physical basis for the non-obvious but correct analytic continuation lies in the invariance of the Hamiltonian under anti-unitary symmetries such as time reversal or PT.
