We show that at least the quasi-exactly solvable eigenvalues of the Schr\"odinger equation with the potential $V(x) = -(\zeta \cosh 2x -iM)^2$ as well as the periodic potential $V(x) = (\zeta \cos 2\theta -iM)^2$ are real for the…
Two port s-matrix for a complex PT-symmetric potential may have uni-modular eigenvalues. If this happens for all energies, there occurs a perfect emission of waves at both ends. We call this phenomenon transparency which is distinctly…
