The original Jaynes–Cummings model is described by a Hamiltonian which is Hermitian and exactly solvable. Here, we extend this model by several types of interactions leading to a non-Hermitian operator which does not satisfy the physical condition of spacetime reflection symmetry ( PT symmetry). The new Hamiltonians are either exactly solvable admitting an entirely real spectrum or quasi-exactly solvable with a real algebraic part of their spectrum.

It is shown that for a given Hermitian Hamiltonian possessing supersymmetry, there is always a non-Hermitian Jaynes–Cummings-type Hamiltonian (JCTH) admitting entirely real spectra. The parent supersymmetric Hamiltonian and the corresponding non-Hermitian JCTH are simultaneously diagonalizable. The exact eigenstates of these non-Hermitian Hamiltonians are constructed algebraically for certain shape-invariant potentials, including a non-Hermitian version of the standard Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model for which the parent supersymmetric Hamiltonian is the superoscillator. It is also shown that a non-Hermitian version of the several physically motivated generalizations of the JC model admits entirely real spectra. The positive-definite metric operator in the Hilbert space is constructed explicitly along with the introduction of a new inner product structure, so that the eigenstates form a complete set of orthonormal vectors and the time evolution is unitary.
The non PT-symmetric exactly solvable Hamiltonian describing a system of a fermion in the external magnetic field which couples to a harmonic oscillator through some pseudo-hermitian interaction is considered. We point out all properties of both of the original Mandal and the original Jaynes-Cummings Hamitonians. It is shown that these Hamiltonians are respectively pseudo-hermitian and hermitian REF _Ref536606452 \r \h \* MERGEFORMAT [1] REF _Ref536606454 \r \h [2]. Like the direct approach to invariant vector spaces used in Refs. REF _Ref536606456 \r \h [3] REF _Ref536606457 \r \h [4], we reveal the exact solvability of both the Mandal and Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonians after expressing them in the position operator and the impulsion operator.
The non PT− symmetric exactly solvable Hamiltonian describing a system of a fermion in the external magnetic field that couples to a harmonic oscillator via some pseudo-hermitian interaction is considered. We highlight all of the properties of both the original Mandal and Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonians. We show that the Mandal Hamiltonian HM is non hermitian and non invariant under the combined action of the parity operator P and the time-reversal operator T Even if the previous properties are not satisfied, it has been proved that the Mandal Hamiltonian HM is pseudo-hermitian with respect to P and with respect to σ3 also [1,2]. Thus, we show that the original Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian is hermitian. We show the exact solvability of both the Mandal and Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonians after expressing them in the position operator and the impulsion operator, similar to the direct approach to invariant vector spaces used in Refs [3,4].

PT Symmetric Hamiltonian Model and Exactly Solvable Potentials
Searching for non-Hermitian (parity-time)PT-symmetric Hamiltonians \cite{bender} with real spectra has been acquiring much interest for fourteen years. In this article, we have introduced a PT symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian model which is given as H^=ω(b^†b^+21)+α(b^2−(b^†)2) where ω and α are real constants, b^ and b†^ are first order differential operators. Moreover, Pseudo-Hermiticity that is a generalization of PT symmetry has been attracting a growing interest \cite{mos}. Because the Hamiltonian H is pseudo-Hermitian, we have obtained the Hermitian equivalent of H which is in Sturm- Liouville form leads to exactly solvable potential models which are effective screened potential and hyperbolic Rosen-Morse II potential. H is called pseudo-Hermitian, if there exists a Hermitian and invertible operator η satisfying H†=ηHη−1. For the Hermitian Hamiltonian h, one can write h=ρHρ−1 where ρ=η is unitary. Using this ρ we have obtained a physical Hamiltonian h for each case. Then, the Schrödinger equation is solved exactly using Shape Invariance method of Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics \cite{susy1}. Mapping function ρ is obtained for each potential case.
