TLDR
In this paper, coherent states for non-Hermitian systems are introduced as eigenstates of pseudo-hermitian boson annihilation operators, and the wave functions of the eigen states of the two complementary number operators are found to be proportional to new polynomials, that are bi-orthogonal and can be regarded as a generalization of standard Hermite polynomial.
Abstract
Coherent states (CS) for non-Hermitian systems are introduced as eigenstates of pseudo-Hermitian boson annihilation operators. The set of these CS includes two subsets which form bi-normalized and bi-overcomplete system of states. The subsets consist of eigenstates of two complementary lowering pseudo-Hermitian boson operators. Explicit constructions are provided on the example of one-parameter family of pseudo-boson ladder operators. The wave functions of the eigenstates of the two complementary number operators, which form a bi-orthonormal system of Fock states, are found to be proportional to new polynomials, that are bi-orthogonal and can be regarded as a generalization of standard Hermite polynomials.

More mathematics for pseudo-bosons

TL;DR: In this article, an alternative definition for pseudo-bosons is proposed, which simplifies the mathematical structure, minimizing the required assumptions, and some physical examples are discussed, as well as some mathematical results related to the biorthogonal sets arising out of their framework.

Modified Landau levels, damped harmonic oscillator, and two-dimensional pseudo-bosons

TL;DR: In this article, a generalized version of the two-dimensional Hamiltonian describing Landau levels has been applied to a class of elementary excitations called pseudo-bosons, which arise from a special deformation of the canonical commutation relation [a, a†] = 11, with b not necessarily equal to a†.

Real Spectra in Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians Having PT Symmetry

TL;DR: The condition of self-adjointness as discussed by the authors ensures that the eigenvalues of a Hamiltonian are real and bounded below, replacing this condition by the weaker condition of $\mathrm{PT}$ symmetry, one obtains new infinite classes of complex Hamiltonians whose spectra are also real and positive.

Pseudo-Hermiticity versus PT-symmetry III: Equivalence of pseudo-Hermiticity and the presence of antilinear symmetries

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a diagonalizable Hamiltonian H is pseudo-Hermitian if and only if it has an antilinear symmetry, i.e., a symmetry generated by an invertible antilINear operator, and the eigenvalues of H are real or come in complex conjugate pairs.
