Resumen:
Serhan et al. [J. Math. Phys. 59, 082105 (2018)] derived a quantum-mechanical Hamiltonian operator from the classical equations of motion for the damped harmonic oscillator and obtained its eigenvalues and eigenfunctions by canonical quantization. They claim that the eigenvalues are real, but here we show that they are in fact complex.
