An ansatz for the eigenstates in PT-symmetric quantum mechanics

Quantum Physics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

We suggest a general ansatz for the energy-eigenstates when a complex one-dimensional PT-symmetric potential possesses real discrete spectrum. Several interesting features of PT-symmetric quantum mechanics have been brought out using this ansatz.
