Is Pseudo-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics an Indefinite-Metric Quantum Theory?
With a view to eliminate an important misconception in some recent publications, we give a brief review of the notion of a pseudo-Hermitian operator, outline pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics, and discuss its basic difference with the indefinite-metric quantum mechanics. In particular, we show that the answer to the question posed in the title is a definite No.
متن کاملMetric Operator in Pseudo-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics and the Imaginary Cubic Potential
We present a systematic perturbative construction of the most general metric operator (and positive-definite inner product) for quasi-Hermitian Hamiltonians of the standard form, H = 1 2 p 2 + v(x), in one dimension. We show that this problem is equivalent to solving an infinite system of iteratively decoupled hyperbolic partial differential equations in (1 + 1)-dimensions. For the case that v(...
متن کاملTime-Dependent Pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians Defining a Unitary Quantum System and Uniqueness of the Metric Operator
The quantum measurement axiom dictates that physical observables and in particular the Hamiltonian must be diagonalizable and have a real spectrum. For a time-independent Hamiltonian (with a discrete spectrum) these conditions ensure the existence of a positivedefinite inner product that renders the Hamiltonian self-adjoint. Unlike for a time-independent Hamiltonian, this does not imply the uni...
متن کاملPath-Integral Formulation of Pseudo-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics and the Role of the Metric Operator
We provide a careful analysis of the generating functional in the path integral formulation of pseudo-Hermitian and in particular PT -symmetric quantum mechanics and show how the metric operator enters the expression for the generating functional. PACS number: 03.65.-w
متن کاملIndefinite-metric quantum field theory and operator algebra
It is often inevitable to introduce an indefinite-metric space in quantum field theory. There is a problem to determine the metric structure of a given representation space of field operators. We show the systematic method to determine such indefinite-metric explicitly. At first, we choose a new involution ∗ of field operators instead of the original involution † such that there is a Hilbert sp...
