    "abstract": "The physical condition that the expectation values of physical observables\nare real quantities is used to give a precise formulation of PT-symmetric\nquantum mechanics. A mathematically rigorous proof is given to establish the\nphysical equivalence of PT-symmetric and conventional quantum mechanics. The\nresults reported in this paper apply to arbitrary PT-symmetric Hamiltonians\nwith a real and discrete spectrum. They hold regardless of whether the boundary\nconditions defining the spectrum of the Hamiltonian are given on the real line\nor a complex contour.",
