An introduction to PT-Symmetric Quantum Theory

Sala 6.2.33, FCUL, Lisboa

Por Paulo Rocha.

Abstract: Traditionally in quantum mechanics it assumed that the Hamiltonian must be Hermitian in order to obtain real energy levels and unitary time evolution. Here we will show that the requirement of Hermiticity may be replaced by space-time reflection (PT-symmetry) without losing any of the essential physical features of quantum mechanics. In this seminar we will give an introduction to PT-Symmetric quantum theory and work with some examples.
