PT Symmetry

By using complex-variable methods one can extend conventional
Hermitian quantum theories into the complex domain. The result is a huge
and exciting new class of parity-time-symmetric (PT-symmetric) theories
whose remarkable physical properties are currently under intense study by
theorists and experimentalists. Many theoretical predictions have been
verified in recent beautiful laboratory experiments.
