Abstract
In the conventional Schrödinger's formulation of quantum mechanics the unitary evolution of a state ψ is controlled, in Hilbert space L, by a Hamiltonian h which must be self-adjoint. In the recent, "quasi-Hermitian"reformulation of the theory one replaces h by its isospectral but non-Hermitian avatar H = ω-1 o ω with ω†ω = Θ ≠ I. Although acting in another, manifestly unphysical Hilbert space H, the amended Hamiltonian H ≠ H † can be perceived as self-adjoint with respect to the amended inner-product metric Θ. In our paper motivated by a generic technical "user-unfriendliness"of the non-Hermiticity of H we introduce and describe a specific new family of Hamiltonians H for which the metrics Θ become available in closed form.
