Semiclassical analysis of a complex quartic Hamiltonian
Carl M. Bender, Dorje C. Brody, Hugh F. Jones
abstract: It is necessary to calculate the C operator for the non-Hermitian
PT-symmetric Hamiltonian H=\half p^2+\half\mu^2x^2-\lambda x^4 in order to
demonstrate that H defines a consistent unitary theory of quantum mechanics.
However, the C operator cannot be obtained by using perturbative methods.
Including a small imaginary cubic term gives the Hamiltonian H=\half p^2+\half
\mu^2x^2+igx^3-\lambda x^4, whose C operator can be obtained perturbatively. In
the semiclassical limit all terms in the perturbation series can be calculated
in closed form and the perturbation series can be summed exactly. The result is
a closed-form expression for C having a nontrivial dependence on the dynamical
variables x and p and on the parameter \lambda.
