Abstract: Using supersymmetric intertwining relations of the second order in derivatives, we construct a two-dimensional quantum model with a complex potential for which all energy levels and the corresponding wave functions are obtained analytically. This model does not admit separation of variables and can be considered a complexified version of the generalized two-dimensional Morse model with an additional $\sinh^{-2}$ term. We prove that the energy spectrum of the model is purely real. To our knowledge, this is a rather rare example of a nontrivial exactly solvable model in two dimensions. We explicitly find the symmetry operator, describe the biorthogonal basis, and demonstrate the pseudo-Hermiticity of the Hamiltonian of the model. The obtained wave functions are simultaneously eigenfunctions of the symmetry operator.

Keywords: supersymmetric quantum mechanics, intertwining relations, complex potentials.
