Description
I’ll introduce some basic quantum mechanics and simple models from nuclear physics to show how and why non-hermitian operators enter into quantum mechanics in the first place. This will be followed by discussing how one can construct a fully self-consistent non-hermitian quantum mechanical framework and how this relates to so-called PT-symmetric quantum mechanics. I’ll conclude by discussing how this work has impacted recent work in optics and other fields of physics.
