• Abstract: We have studied a $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric quantum system for a class of position-dependent effective mass. Formalisms of supersymmetric quantum mechanics are utilized to construct the partner potentials. Since the system under consideration is not self-adjoint, the intertwining operators do not factorize the Hamiltonian. We have factorized the Hamiltonian with the aid of generalized annihilation and creation operators, which acts on a deformed coordinate and momentum space. The coherent state structure for the system is constructed from the eigenstates of the generalized annihilation operator. \\ It turns out that the self-adjoint deformed position and momentum operators violate the Heisenberg uncertainty principle for the $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric system. This violation depends solely on the $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric term, not on the choice of the inner product. For explicit construction, we have demonstrated, for simplicity, a constant mass $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric system Harmonic oscillator, which shows the violation of the uncertainty principle for a choice of acceptable parameter values. The result indicates that either $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric systems are a trivial extension of usual quantum mechanics or only suitable for open quantum systems.

A new kind of abnormal dynamic pattern in the entropy evolution process is identified, which presents a parameter-dependent stable state. Our work reveals the distinctive dynamic features in the triple-qubit $mathcalPT$-symmetric system and paves the way for practical quantum simulation of multi-party non-Hermitian system on quantum computers.

This leads to deformed, sub-bosonic commutation relations inducing a simple algebraic structure with modified eigenenergies and Fock states. In addition, we investigate possible consequences of the introduced formalism in quantum field theories, as for instance, deviations from linearity in the dispersion relation for free quasibosons.
