The spectrum of the Hermitian Hamiltonian H = p2 + V(x) is real and discrete if the potential V(x) → ∞ as x → ±∞. However, if V(x) is complex and -symmetric, it is conjectured that, except in rare special cases, V(x) must be analytic in order to have a real spectrum. This conjecture is demonstrated by using the potential V(x) = (ix)a|x|b, where a, b are real.
