A diagonalizable non-Hermitian Hamiltonian having a real spectrum may be used to define a unitary quantum system, if one modifies the inner product of the Hilbert space properly. We give a comprehensive and essentially self-contained review…

One-dimensional unitary scattering controlled by non-Hermitian (typically, ${\cal PT}$-symmetric) quantum Hamiltonians $H\neq H^\dagger$ is considered. Treating these operators via Runge-Kutta approximation, our three-Hilbert-space…
A deformation of Heisenberg algebra induces among other consequences a loss of Hermiticity of some operators that generate this algebra. Therefore, these operators are not Hermitian, nor is the Hamiltonian operator built from them. In the…
A non-hermitian deformation of the one-dimensional transverse Ising model is shown to have the property of quasi-hermiticity. The transverse Ising chain is obtained from the starting non-hermitian Hamiltonian through a similarity…

This work outlines a consistent method of identifying subsystems in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, independent of the underlying inner-product structure. Such Hilbert spaces arise in $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric quantum mechanics,…
We present a framework for computing the solution to Hamiltonian eigenproblems in a subspace defined by bit-strings sampled from a quantum computer. Hamiltonians are represented using an extended alphabet that includes projection and ladder…
It is well known that an (in general, non-commutative) set of non-Hermitian operators $\Lambda_j$ with real eigenvalues need not necessarily represent observables. We describe a specific class of quantum models in which these operators plus…
Among ${\cal P}$-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians $H ={\cal P}^{-1} H^\dagger \cal P}$ with real spectra, the ''weakly pseudo-Hermitian" ones (i.e., those employing non-self-adjoint ${\cal P} \neq {\cal P}^\dagger$) form a remarkable…
