WKB approaches to restore time in quantum cosmology: predictions and shortcomings

G Maniccia, M De Angelis, G Montani - Universe, 2022 - mdpi.com
In this review, we analyse different aspects concerning the possibility to separate a gravity-
matter system into a part which lives close to a quasi-classical state and a “small” quantum …

Pseudo-Hermitian representation of quantum mechanics

A diagonalizable non-Hermitian Hamiltonian having a real spectrum may be used to define
a unitary quantum system, if one modifies the inner product of the Hilbert space properly. We …

Transfer matrix in scattering theory: A survey of basic properties and recent developments

Time-dependent version of crypto-Hermitian quantum theory

M Znojil - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2008 - APS
For many quantum models an apparent non-Hermiticity of observables just corresponds to
their hidden Hermiticity in another, physical Hilbert space. For these models we show that …

Time-dependent pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians defining a unitary quantum system and uniqueness of the metric operator

A Mostafazadeh - Physics Letters B, 2007 - Elsevier
The quantum measurement axiom dictates that physical observables and in particular the
Hamiltonian must be diagonalizable and have a real spectrum. For a time-independent …
