Abstract
The rationale for introducing non-Hermitian Hamiltonians and other observables is reviewed and open issues identified. We present a new approach based on Moyal products to compute the metric for quasi-Hermitian systems. This approach is not only an efficient method of computation, but also suggests a new perspective on quasi-Hermitian quantum mechanics which invites further exploration. In particular, we present some first results which link the Berry connection and curvature to non-perturbative properties and the metric. © 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd.
