Zusammenfassung: | With the aim to solve the time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation associated to a time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we introduce a unitary transformation that maps the Hamiltonian to a time-independent \(\mathcal{PT}\)-symmetric one. Consequently, the solution of time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation becomes easily deduced and the evolution preserves the \(\mathcal{C(}t\mathcal{)PT}\)-inner product, where \(\mathcal{C(}t\mathcal{)}\) is a obtained from the charge conjugation operator \(\mathcal{C}\) through a time dependent unitary transformation. Moreover, the expectation value of the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian in the \(\mathcal{C(}t\mathcal{)PT}\) normed states is guaranteed to be real. As an illustration, we present a specific quantum system given by a quantum oscillator with time-dependent mass subjected to a driving linear complex time-dependent potential. |
