We find that a broken PT-symmetry operator when interacts with suitable Hermitian operator, new system becomes completely un-broken PT symmetry. Further on varying the contribution of Hermiticity one can delay or control the broken…
The concept of parity-time (PT) symmetry originates from the framework of quantum mechanics, where if the Hamiltonian operator satisfies the commutation relation with the parity and time operators, it shows all real eigen-energy spectrum.…
It is generally assumed that a Hamiltonian for a physically acceptable quantum system (one that has a positive-definite spectrum and obeys the requirement of unitarity) must be Hermitian. However, a PT-symmetric Hamiltonian can also define…
Paraxial linear propagation of light in an optical waveguide with material gain and loss is governed by a Schr\"odinger equation with a complex potential. Properties of parity-time-symmetric complex potentials have been heavily studied…

Quantum physics is generally concerned with real eigenvalues due to the unitarity of time evolution. With the introduction of $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry, a widely accepted consensus is that, even if the Hamiltonian of the system is not…
So far the spectra $E_n(N)$ of the paradigm model of complex PT(Parity-Time)-symmetric potential $V_{BB}(x,N)=-(ix)^N$ is known to be analytically continued for $N > 4$. Consequently, the well known eigenvalues of the Hermitian cases…
We formulate gaussian and circular random-matrix models representing a coupled system consisting of an absorbing and an amplifying resonator, which are mutually related by a generalized time-reversal symmetry. Motivated by optical…
We briefly explain some simple arguments based on pseudo Hermiticity, supersymmetry and PT-symmetry which explain the reality of the spectrum of some non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. Subsequently we employ PT-symmetry as a guiding principle to…
We study symmetries of open bosonic systems in the presence of laser pumping. Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians describing these systems can be parity-time (${\cal{PT}}$) symmetric in special cases only. Systems exhibiting this symmetry are…
In this work, we show that the completeness relation for the eigenvectors, which is an essential assumption of quantum mechanics, remains true if the Hamiltonian, having a discrete spectrum, is modified by a delta potential (to be made…
It is generally believed that Parity-Time (PT)-symmetry breaking occurs when eigenvalues or both eigenvalues and eigenvectors coincide. However, we show that this well-accepted picture of PT-symmetry breaking is incorrect. Instead, we…
We study non-Hermitian quantum mechanics of an inverted triple-well potential within the exact WKB framework. For a single classical potential, different Siegert boundary conditions define three distinct quantum problems: the PT-symmetric,…
We describe one-dimensional stationary scattering of a two-component wave field by a non-Hermitian matrix potential which features odd-$PT$ symmetry, i.e., symmetry with $(PT)^2=-1$. The scattering is characterized by a $4\times 4$ transfer…
For any central potential V in D dimensions, the angular Schroedinger equation remains the same and defines the so called hyperspherical harmonics. For non-central models, the situation is more complicated. We contemplate two examples in…
