Physical Aspects of Pseudo-Hermitian and PT -Symmetric Quantum Mechanics
For a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian H possessing a real spectrum, we introduce a canonical orthonormal basis in which a previously introduced unitary mapping of H to a Hermitian Hamiltonian h takes a simple form. We use this basis to construct the observables Oα of the quantum mechanics based on H. In particular, we introduce pseudo-Hermitian position and momentum operators and a pseudo-Hermitian q...
متن کاملComment on “PT-Symmetric versus Hermitian Formulations of Quantum Mechanics”
We explain why the main conclusion of Bender et al, J. Phys. A 39, 1657 (2006), regarding the practical superiority of the non-Hermitian description of PT -symmetric quantum systems over their Hermitian description is not valid. Recalling the essential role played by the Hermitian description in the characterization and interpretation of the physical observables, we maintain that as far as the ...
متن کاملPT -Symmetric Versus Hermitian Formulations of Quantum Mechanics
Abstract A non-Hermitian Hamiltonian that has an unbroken PT symmetry can be converted by means of a similarity transformation to a physically equivalent Hermitian Hamiltonian. This raises the following question: In which form of the quantum theory, the non-Hermitian or the Hermitian one, is it easier to perform calculations? This paper compares both forms of a non-Hermitian ix quantum-mechanic...
متن کاملScattering in PT -Symmetric Quantum Mechanics
A general formalism is worked out for the description of one-dimensional scattering in non-hermitian quantum mechanics and constraints on transmission and reflection coefficients are derived in the cases of P, T or PT invariance of the Hamiltonian. Applications to some solvable PT -symmetric potentials are shown in detail. Our main original results concern the association of reflectionless pote...
متن کاملPT −symmetric regularizations in supersymmetric quantum mechanics
Within the supersymmetric quantum mechanics the necessary regularization of the poles of the superpotentials on the real line of coordinates x may be most easily mediated by a small constant shift of this axis into complex plane. Detailed attention is paid here to the resulting recipe which works, in effect, with non-Hermitian (a. k. a. PT −symmetric or pseudo-Hermitian) Hamiltonians. Besides a...
