Abstract: Through the $eta$-inner product, we investigate $calPT$-symmetric quantum mechanics from the viewpoint of superposition and coherence theory. It is argued that $calPT$-symmetric quantum systems are endowed with stationary superposition or superposition-free properties. A physical interpretation of $eta$-inner product in $mathbb{C}^2$ is given through the Stokes parameters, showing the difference between broken and unbroken $calPT$-symmetric quantum systems.
