In this work we revisit the arithmetic and bit complexity of Hermitian eigenproblems. Recently, [BGVKS, FOCS 2020] proved that a (non-Hermitian) matrix can be diagonalized with a randomized algorithm in $O(n^{\omega}\log^2(n/\epsilon))$…

The spectrum of the Hermitian Hamiltonian $H=p^2+V(x)$ is real and discrete if the potential $V(x)\to\infty$ as $x\to\pm\infty$. However, if $V(x)$ is complex and PT-symmetric, it is conjectured that, except in rare special cases, $V(x)$…
