In most introductory courses on quantum mechanics one is taught that the Hamiltonian operator must be Hermitian in order that the energy levels be real and that the theory be unitary (probability conserving). To express the Hermiticity of a…

We formulate a complex action theory which includes operators of coordinate and momentum $\hat{q}$ and $\hat{p}$ being replaced with non-hermitian operators $\hat{q}_{new}$ and $\hat{p}_{new}$, and their eigenstates ${}_m <_{new} q |$ and…

Nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation was originally derived in nonlinear optics as a model for beam propagation, which naturally requires its application in cylindrical coordinates. However, the derivation was done in the Cartesian…
