A new method to work out the Hermitian correspondence of a PT-symmetric quantum mechanical Hamiltonian is proposed. In contrast to the conventional method, the new method ends with a local Hamiltonian of the form p^2/2+m^2x^2/2+v(x) without…

PT-symmetric systems can have a real spectrum even when their Hamiltonian is non-hermitian, but develop a complex spectrum when the degree of non-hermiticity increases. Here we utilize random-matrix theory to show that this spontaneous…

The potential -x^4, which is unbounded below on the real line, can give rise to a well-posed bound state problem when x is taken on a contour in the lower-half complex plane. It is then PT-symmetric rather than Hermitian. Nonetheless it has…
