Abstract
In 1956, Freeman Dyson discovered that the practical solution of Schr\"{o}dinger equation may be facilitated when one replaces the standard self-adjoint Hamiltonian h=h^† by its manifestly non-Hermitian isospectral avatar H =Ω⁻¹ h Ω with Ω^†Ω=Θ ≠ I. The standard unitary interpretation of the evolution can be then achieved either by the ``operator transformation'' (OT) reconstruction of h, or via a metric-amendment (MA) change of the Hilbert space, H_auxiliary→ H_physical. In our present letter we describe an alternative Hermitization of a ``hybrid form'' (HF) which simply combines the OT model-building strategy with the MA model-building strategy. The merits of the approach are illustrated using a schematic two-state quantum system.
