Abstract
For Hermitian and non-Hermitian Hamiltonian matrices H, we present the Schr¨odinger equation for qudit (spin-j system, N-level atom) with the state vector |ψ〉 in a new form of the linear eigenvalue equation for the matrix ℋ = (H ⊗ 1N) and the probability eigenvector |p〉 identified with quantum states in the probability representation of quantum mechanics. We discuss the possibility to experimentally detect the difference between the system states described by the solutions, corresponding to the Schrodinger equation with Hermitian and non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, by measuring the probabilities of artificial spin-1/2 projections m = ± 1/2, sets of which are identified with qudit states. We show that different symmetries of systems, including 𝒫𝒯 -symmetry and broken 𝒫𝒯 -symmetry, are determined by a set of N complex eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian matrix H.
