Discriminating an Arbitrary Number of Pure Quantum States by the Combined $\mathcal{CPT}$ and Hermitian Measurements

If the system is known to be in one of two non-orthogonal quantum states, $|ψ_1\rangle$ or $|ψ_2\rangle$, $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric quantum mechanics can discriminate them, \textit{in principle}, by a single measurement. We extend this approach by combining $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric and Hermitian measurements and show that it's possible to distinguish an arbitrary number of pure quantum states by an appropriate choice of the parameters of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian.
