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…
Comment on ``On Existence of a Biorthonormal Basis Composed of Eigenvectors of Non-Hermitian Operators [quant-ph/0603075]''
Ali Mostafazadeh
We point out that T. Tanaka's recent criticism [quant-ph/0603075] of the results of J. Math. Phys. 43, 3944 (2002) [math-ph/0203005] is based on an assumption which was never made…
Comment on ``PT-Symmetric versus Hermitian Formulations of Quantum Mechanics [hep-th/0511229]''
Ali Mostafazadeh
We explain why the main conclusion of Bender et al, hep-th/0511229 [J. Phys. A 39 (2006) 1657] regarding the practical superiority of the non-Hermitian description of PT-symmetric…
