The purpose of this workshop is in working actively on various aspects of Quantum Physics in which Non-Hermitian operators play important role. Focusing on theories described by PT-symmetric, Quasi-Hermitian, Pseudo-Hermitian, Crypto-Hermitian, and Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.

The proceedings will include such topics as Non-Hermitian (N-H) optical fibres and magneto-hydrodynamics, quantum dots and quantum computation, dissipative systems and other systems with loss of information, N-H random matrix models and statistical mechanical models, scattering theory for N-H Hamiltonians, Bose-Hubbard N-H systems, Hatano-Nelson models of strongly correlated particle systems, wave guides, N-H cosmological and gravitational models, supersymmetry for N-H Hamiltonians, and N-H quantum field theory.

Their subject will involve several areas of mathematical physics, such as non-Hermitian spectral problems, perturbative methods, WKB and numerical methods, Lie algebras, Krein spaces, Moyal products, integrable models, quasi-exact solvability, conformal field theory, and the Bethe ansatz.
