We examine the properties and consequences of pseudo-supersymmetry for quantum systems admitting a pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian. We explore the Witten index of pseudo-supersymmetry and show that every pair of diagonalizable (not necessarily…
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…
The real energy spectrum from the $PT$-symmetric Hamiltonian $H = p^2 - (ix)^N$ with $x\in\mathbb{C}$ was examined within one pair of Stokes wedges in 1998 by Bender and Boettcher. For this Hamiltonian we discuss the following three…
In the context of two particularly interesting non-Hermitian models in quantum mechanics we explore the relationship between the original Hamiltonian H and its Hermitian counterpart h, obtained from H by a similarity transformation, as…
The spectrum of the Hermitian Hamiltonian ${1\over2}p^2+{1\over2}m^2x^2+gx^4$ ($g>0$), which describes the quantum anharmonic oscillator, is real and positive. The non-Hermitian quantum-mechanical Hamiltonian $H={1\over2}p^2+{1…
The generalized Swanson Hamiltonian $H_{GS} = w (\tilde{a}\tilde{a}^\dag+ 1/2) + \alpha \tilde{a}^2 + \beta \tilde{a}^{\dag^2}$ with $\tilde{a} = A(x)d/dx + B(x)$, can be transformed into an equivalent Hermitian Hamiltonian with the help of…
The linear $\delta$ expansion (LDE) is applied to the Hamiltonian $H=(p^2 +m^2 x^2)/2 + igx^3$, which arises in the study of Lee-Yang zeros in statistical mechanics. Despite being non-Hermitian, this Hamiltonian appears to possess a real,…
The axioms of Quantum Mechanics require that the hamiltonian of any closed system is self-adjoint, so that energy levels are real and time evolution preserves probability. On the other hand, non-hermitian hamiltonians with…
We investigate properties of the most general PT-symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian of cubic order in the annihilation and creation operators as a ten parameter family. For various choices of the parameters we systematically construct an…
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…
We introduce a new class $\mathbb{G}^n_s$ of generic real analytic potentials on $\mathbb{T}^n$ and study global analytic properties of natural nearly-integrable Hamiltonians $\frac12 |y|^2+\varepsilon f(x)$, with potential $f\in…
We consider the solution of PT symmetry Hamiltonians using the technique of tridiagonal representation approach. This methodology provides more accurate results and proper depiction of the Hamiltonian energy level and wavefunctions. It is…
In this paper, we considered the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian $\Delta_\epsilon$ on $\Omega_\epsilon=\{(x,y): -l_1<x<l_2, 0<y<\epsilon h(x)]\}$ where $ l_1,l_2>0$ and $h(x)$ is a positive analytic function having $0$ the only point…
We show that a polynomial H(N) of degree N of a harmonic oscillator hamiltonian allows us to devise a fully solvable continuous quantum system for which the first N discrete energy eigenvalues can be chosen at will. In general such a choice…
We provide an explanation to the behaviour of the spectra of two exactly-solvable one-dimensional Hamiltonians with PT symmetry proposed earlier. We calculate the branch points at which pairs of eigenvalues coalesce and discuss the…
We consider the discrete spectrum of the two-dimensional Hamiltonian $H=H_0+V$, where $H_0$ is a Schr\"odinger operator with a non-constant magnetic field $B$ that depends only on one of the spatial variables, and $V$ is an electric…
While Hermiticity of a time-independent Hamiltonian leads to unitary time evolution, in and of itself, the requirement of Hermiticity is only sufficient for unitary time evolution. In this paper we provide conditions that are both necessary…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the spectrum of a quantum system which is a perturbation of a spherically symmetric anharmonic oscillator in dimension 2. We prove that a large part of its eigenvalues can be obtained by Bohr-Sommerfeld…
The spectral properties of a tractable collective model Hamiltonian are studied. The potential energy is truncated up to quartic terms in the quadrupole deformation variables, incorporating vibrational, $\gamma$-independent rotational and…
The family of complex PT-symmetric sextic potentials is studied to show that for various cases the system is essentially quasi-solvable and possesses real, discrete energy eigenvalues. For a particular choice of parameters, we find that…
