We consider the simple analytically tractable case of a PT -symmetric 2 x 2 Hamiltonian matrix and analyse the conditions for the eigenvalues to be real and for time evolution to be unitary. Lastly, we review and reproduce the results of an experiment involving PT symmetry in optics5 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Viedma, 2018http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Teoria quànticaSimetria (Física)Treballs de fi de grauQuantum theorySymmetry (Physics)Bachelor's thesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
