Certain aspects of some unitary quantum systems are well-described by evolution via a non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonian, as in the Wigner-Weisskopf theory for spontaneous decay. Conversely, any non-Hermitian Hamiltonian evolution can be…

We investigate the relation between non-Hermitian Hamiltonian and Lindblad dynamics in nonequilibrium open quantum systems. Non-Hermitian models can extend phase diagrams and enable sensing advantages, but such effects often rely on…

The most general Dirac Hamiltonians in $(1+1)$ dimensions are revisited under the requirement to exhibit a supersymmetric structure. It is found that supersymmetry allows either for a scalar or a pseudo-scalar potential. Their spectral…

In the framework of quasi-Hermitian quantum mechanics it is shown that a weakening of the isotropy of the Hilbert-space geometry can help us to enlarge the domain of the parameters at which the evolution is unitary. The idea is tested using…
