• Abstract: In this work our aim is to link Bekenstein's quantized form of the area of the event horizon to the Hamiltonian of the non-Hermitian Swanson oscillator which is known to be parity-time-symmetric. We achieve this by employing a similarity transformation that maps the non-Hermitian quantum system to a scaled harmonics oscillator. To this end, we consider the unconstrained reduced Hamiltonian which is directly expressed in terms of the Schwarzschild mass and implies a periodic character for the conjugate momentum (which represents the asymptotic time coordinate), the period being the inverse Hawking temperature. This leads to the quantization of the event-horizon area in terms of the harmonic oscillator levels. Next, in the framework of the Swanson oscillator model, we proceed to derive novel expressions for the corresponding Hawking temperature and black hole entropy.

  Non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems feature steady-state entanglement transitions driven by unitary dynamics and dissipation. We show that the steady state is obtained by filling single-particle right eigenstates with the largest imaginary part of the eigenvalue. We illustrate these principles in the Hatano-Nelson model with periodic boundary conditions and the non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model.

  We show how the quantum mechanics of the inverted harmonic oscillator can be mapped to the quantum mechanics of a particle. We demonstrate this by relating both of these systems to the Berry-Keating system with hamiltonian $H=(xp+px)/2$. Our map does not require the boundary condition to be self-adjoint, as can be appropriate for systems that involve the absorption or emission of particles.
