= Non-Hermitian quantum mechanics
{wiki=Non-Hermitian_quantum_mechanics}
Non-Hermitian quantum mechanics is a framework that extends traditional quantum mechanics, which is typically built on Hermitian operators. In standard quantum mechanics, observables are represented by Hermitian operators on a Hilbert space, ensuring that measured values (eigenvalues) are real. However, in non-Hermitian quantum mechanics, certain operators that are not Hermitian are considered, leading to different interpretations and outcomes.
