- Abstract: 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 a simplified subset of eligible metrics and two exactly solvable models.

We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians.
We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

We show that the boundary of expectation value space corresponds to the ground state, which presents a natural bound that generalizes Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
Our approach provides an alternative time-independent quantum formulation that transforms the linear problem in a high-dimensional Hilbert space into a nonlinear algebro-geometric problem in a low dimension.

Kitaev spin models are well known for being exactly solvable in a certain parameter regime via a mapping to free fermions.
We use classical simulations to explore a novel variational ansatz that takes advantage of this fermionic representation.
We also comment on the implications of our results for simulating non-Abelian anyons on quantum computers.

The standard quantum mechanics over a complex Hilbert space, is a Hamiltonian mechanics, regarding the Hilbert space as a linear real manifold equipped with its canonical symplectic form and restricting only to the expectation-value functions of Hermitian operators.
We reformulate the structure of quantum mechanics in the language of symplectic manifold and avoid linear structure of Hilbert space in such a way that the results can be stated for an arbitrary symplectic manifold.
