Abstract

Searching for non-Hermitian (parity-time)PT\mathcal{PT}-symmetric Hamiltonians \cite{bender} with real spectra has been acquiring much interest for fourteen years. In this article, we have introduced a PT\mathcal{PT} symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model which is given as H^=ω(b^b^+12)+α(b^2(b^)2)\hat{\mathcal{H}}=\omega (\hat{b}^\dagger\hat{b}+\frac{1}{2})+ \alpha (\hat{b}^{2}-(\hat{b}^\dagger)^{2}) where ω\omega and α\alpha are real constants, b^\hat{b} and b^\hat{b^\dagger} are first order differential operators. Moreover, Pseudo-Hermiticity that is a generalization of PT\mathcal{PT} symmetry has been attracting a growing interest \cite{mos}. Because the Hamiltonian H\mathcal{H} is pseudo-Hermitian, we have obtained the Hermitian equivalent of H\mathcal{H} which is in Sturm- Liouville form leads to exactly solvable potential models which are effective screened potential and hyperbolic Rosen-Morse II potential. H\mathcal{H} is called pseudo-Hermitian, if there exists a Hermitian and invertible operator η\eta satisfying H=ηHη1\mathcal{H^\dagger}=\eta \mathcal{H} \eta^{-1}. For the Hermitian Hamiltonian hh, one can write h=ρHρ1h=\rho \mathcal{H} \rho^{-1} where ρ=η\rho=\sqrt{\eta} is unitary. Using this ρ\rho we have obtained a physical Hamiltonian hh for each case. Then, the Schr\"{o}dinger equation is solved exactly using Shape Invariance method of Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics \cite{susy1}. Mapping function ρ\rho is obtained for each potential case.
