Time-dependent quasi-Hermitian Hamiltonians and the unitarity of quantum evolution

Abstract

We show that the consequences of an introduction of a manifest time-dependence in a pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian H=H(t) are by far less drastic than suggested by A. Mostafazadeh in Phys. Lett. B 650 (2007) 208 (arXiv:0706.1872v2 [quant-ph]). In particular, the unitarity of the evolution does not necessitate the time-independence of the metric ${\eta }_{+}={\eta }_{+}(t)$.
