Abstract: Recently, Bender et al. have considered the quantum brachistochrone problem for the non-Hermitian $calPT$-symmetric quantum system and have shown that the optimal time evolution required to transform a given initial state $|ps{i}_{i}angle$ into a specific final state $|ps{i}_{f}angle$ can be made arbitrarily small. Additionally, it has been shown that finding the shortest possible time requires only the solution of the two-dimensional problem for the quantum system governed by the effective Hamiltonian acting in the subspace spanned by $|ps{i}_{i}angle$ and $|ps{i}_{f}angle$. In this paper, we study a similar problem for the generic non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, focusing our attention on the geometric aspects of the problem.
