Scattering off PT-symmetric upside-down potentials

By Carl Bender and Mariagiovanna Gianfreda
The upside-down -x^4, -x^6, and -x^8 potentials with appropriate PT-symmetric boundary conditions have real, positive, and discrete quantum-mechanical spectra. This paper proposes a straightforward macroscopic quantum-mechanical scattering experiment in which one can observe and measure these bound-state energies directly.
