We show that despite the fact that an $\\eta$ operator produced by a supersymmetric transformation, corresponding to the exact supersymmetry, is singular, it can be used to find the eigenfunctions of a Hermitian operator equivalent to the given pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian. Once the eigenfunctions of the Hermitian operator are found the operator may be reconstructed with the help of the spectral decomposition.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-04-08T05:16:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Ca", "03.65.Ge", "02.30.Tb" ], "keywords": [ "supersymmetric quantum mechanics", "equivalent hermitian operator", "hermitian operator equivalent", "diagonalizable pseudo-hermitian hamiltonians", "discrete spectra" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physics Letters A", "year": 2010, "month": "Apr", "volume": 374, "number": "19-20", "pages": 1962 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 831782, "adsabs": "2010PhLA..374.1962S" } } }
