Eight exactly solvable complex potentials in Bender-Boettcher quantum mechanics (Q2734539)

This is a readable review of recent work on non-Hermitian bound state problems with complex potentials. A particular example is the generalization of the harmonic oscillator with the potentials: NEWLINE\[NEWLINE V(x)=\frac{\omega^2}2\,\left(x-\frac{2i\beta}{\omega}\right)^2-\frac{\omega}{2}.NEWLINE\]NEWLINE Other examples include complex generalizations of the Morse potential, the spiked radial harmonic potential, the Kratzer-Coulomb potential, the Rosen Morse oscillator and others. Instead of demanding Hermiticity \(H=H^*\) the condition required is \(H=PTHPT\) where \(P\) changes the parity and \(T\) transforms \(i\) to \(-i\).NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0961.00020].
