PT-symmetric quantum mechanics began with a study of the Hamiltonian $H=p^2+x^2(ix)^\varepsilon$. A surprising feature of this non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is that its eigenvalues are discrete, real, and positive when $\varepsilon\geq0$. This…

We study the monic polynomials orthogonal with respect to a symmetric perturbed Gaussian weight $$ w(x;t):=\mathrm{e}^{-x^2}\left(1+t\: x^2\right)^\lambda,\qquad x\in \mathbb{R}, $$ where $t> 0,\;\lambda\in \mathbb{R}$. This weight is…
We provide the first solution of a time-dependent metric operator for the non-Hermitian Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian. We use this solution to calculate the entanglement between two identical isolated such Hamiltonians. The presence of a…
Computing the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a perturbed matrix can be remarkably difficult when the unperturbed matrix has repeated eigenvalues. In this work we show how the limiting eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix…
The spectra of a particular class of PT symmetric eigenvalue problems has previously been studied, and found to have an extremely rich structure. In this paper we present an explanation for these spectral properties in terms of quantisation…
Three-parametric family of non-Hermitian but ${\cal PT}-$symmetric six-by-six matrix Hamiltonians $H^{(6)}(x,y,z)$ is considered. The ${\cal PT}-$symmetry remains spontaneously unbroken (i.e., the spectrum of the bound-state energies…
