Models of PT symmetric quantum mechanics provide examples of biorthogonal
quantum systems. The latter incorporporate all the structure of PT symmetric
models, and allow for generalizations, especially in situations where the PT
construction of the dual space fails. The formalism is illustrated by a few
exact results for models of the form H=(p+\nu)^2+\sum_{k>0}\mu_{k}exp(ikx). In
some non-trivial cases, equivalent hermitian theories are obtained and shown to
be very simple: They are just free (chiral) particles. Field theory extensions
are briefly considered.
