Abstract
We provide a time-dependent Dyson map and metric for the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator with a non-Hermitian ixy coupling term. This particular time-independent model exhibits spontaneously broken [Formula: see text]-symmetry and becomes unphysical in the broken regime, with the spectrum becoming partially complex. By introducing an explicit time dependence into the Dyson map, we provide a time-dependent metric that renders the model consistent across the unbroken and broken regimes.
