Explicit Realization of Pseudo-Hermitian and Quasi-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics for Two-Level Systems
Ali Mostafazadeh, Seher Ozcelik
We give an explicit characterization of the most general quasi-Hermitian operator H, the associated metric operators η_+, and η_+-pseudo-Hermitian operators acting in two-dimension…
Delta-Function Potential with a Complex Coupling
Ali Mostafazadeh
We explore the Hamiltonian operator H=-d^2/dx^2 + z δ(x) where x is real, δ(x) is the Dirac delta function, and z is an arbitrary complex coupling constant. For a purely imaginary…
Krein-Space Formulation of PT-Symmetry, CPT-Inner Products, and Pseudo-Hermiticity
Ali Mostafazadeh
Emphasizing the physical constraints on the formulation of a quantum theory based on the standard measurement axiom and the Schroedinger equation, we comment on some conceptual iss…
Is Weak Pseudo-Hermiticity Weaker than Pseudo-Hermiticity?
Ali Mostafazadeh
For a weakly pseudo-Hermitian linear operator, we give a spectral condition that ensures its pseudo-Hermiticity. This condition is always satisfied whenever the operator acts in a…
Real Description of Classical Hamiltonian Dynamics Generated by a Complex Potential
Ali Mostafazadeh
Analytic continuation of the classical dynamics generated by a standard Hamiltonian, H = p^2/2m + v(x), into the complex plane yields a particular complex classical dynamical syste…
Differential Realization of Pseudo-Hermiticity: A quantum mechanical analog of Einstein's field equation
Ali Mostafazadeh
For a given pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian of the standard form: H=p^2/2m+v(x), we reduce the problem of finding the most general (pseudo-)metric operator ηsatisfying H^\dagger=ηH η^…
