TLDR
For non-Hermitian time-dependent systems, a closed form expression for the evolution operator is not available as mentioned in this paper, but a procedure for deriving the solution of Liuville-Bloch equations in the product form of exponential operators was developed by A.P.Rau.Abstract:
The evolution operator \(U(t)\) for a time-independent parity-time-symmetric systems is well studied in the literature. However, for the non-Hermitian time-dependent systems, a closed form expression for the evolution operator is not available. In this paper, we make use of a procedure, originally developed by A.R.P. Rau [Phys.Rev.Lett, 81, 4785-4789 (1998)], in the context of deriving the solution of Liuville-Bloch equations in the product form of exponential operators when time-dependent external elds are present, for the evaluation of \(U(t)\) in the interaction picture wherein the corresponding Hamiltonian is time-dependent and in general non-Hermitian. This amounts to a transformation of the whole scheme in terms of addressing a nonlinear Riccati equation the existence of whose solutions depends on the fulllment of a certain accompanying integrabilty condition.read more

Tunable Tradeoff between Quantum and Classical Computation via Nonunitary Zeno-like Dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper , a non-unitary variant of the continuous time Grover search algorithm based on frequent Zeno-type measurements is proposed and analyzed, and it is shown that the algorithm scales similarly to the pure quantum version by deriving tight analytical lower bounds on its efficiency for arbitrary database sizes and measurement parameters.

Real Spectra in Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians Having PT Symmetry
TL;DR: The condition of self-adjointness as discussed by the authors ensures that the eigenvalues of a Hamiltonian are real and bounded below, replacing this condition by the weaker condition of $\mathrm{PT}$ symmetry, one obtains new infinite classes of complex Hamiltonians whose spectra are also real and positive.
