The point where QM branches into two formalisms. 330 $aNon-Hermitian quantum mechanics (NHQM) is an important alternative to the standard (Hermitian) formalism of quantum mechanics, enabling the solution of otherwise difficult problems. The first book to present this theory, it is useful to advanced graduate students and researchers in physics, chemistry and engineering. NHQM provides powerful numerical and analytical tools for the study of resonance phenomena - perhaps one of the most striking events in nature. It is especially useful for problems whose solutions cause extreme difficulties within the structure of a conventional Hermitian framework. NHQM has applications in a variety of fields, including optics, where the refractive index is complex; quantum field theory, where the parity-time (PT) symmetry properties of the Hamiltonian are investigated; and atomic and molecular physics and electrical engineering, where complex potentials are introduced to simplify numerical calculations. 606 $aQuantum theory$xMathematics 606 $aHermitian structures 606 $aResonance 606 $aHermitian symmetric spaces 615 0$aQuantum theory$xMathematics. 615 0$aHermitian structures. 615 0$aResonance. 615 0$aHermitian symmetric spaces. 676 $a530.12 686 $aSCI057000$2bisacsh 700 $aMoiseyev$b Nimrod$f1947-$01660538 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828867103321 996 $aNon-Hermitian quantum mechanics$94015839 997 $aUNINA
