Abstract Discrete multiparametric 1D quantum well with P T -symmetric long-range boundary conditions is proposed and studied. As a nonlocal descendant of the square well families endowed with Dirac (i.e., Hermitian) and with complex Robin (i.e., non-Hermitian but still local) boundary conditions, the model is shown characterized by the survival of solvability in combination with an enhanced spectral-design flexibility. The solvability incorporates also the feasibility of closed-form…

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 give a

The non-Hermitian Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model is considered and it is shown that its phase transition occurs with maximum multiparticle entanglement: There is full N-particle entanglements at the transition, in contrast to the Hermitian case.
