- Description
- The purpose of this talk is to encourage postdocs and graduate students by telling them my own experience as a postdoc. When I was around 30 years old, I spent one year as a postdoc in Harvard University and published a paper entitled “Localization transitions in non-Hermitian quantum mechanics” in 1996 with David R. Nelson. This is probably the first paper that has “non-Hermitian quantum mechanics” in the title. We proposed a model now called the Hatano-Nelson model. The paper was not very popular for quite a long time but get many citations recently after the model was recognized as a minimal non-Hermitian topological model. I tell you how we came up with the Hatano-Nelson model then, putting emphasis on my thought as to what aspects of research activities are critical to obtaining good output.
