摘要
Inner products in pseudo-Hermitian quantum theories depend on the details of the Hamiltonians themselves, which makes them difficult to calculate. We shall see that, for some questions, the functional integrals for such theories can be calculated without needing to determine the inner product metric. The reason is that their derivation is based on the Heisenberg equations of motion and the canonical commutation relations, which are unchanged. In particular, this can greatly simplify the derivation of Hermitian theories that are equivalent to these pseudo-Hermitian systems.
