Entanglement dynamics of two non-Hermitian qubits

The evolution of entanglement in a non-Hermitian quantum system may behave differently compared to its Hermitian counterpart. In this paper, we investigate the entanglement dynamics of two coupled and driven non-Hermitian qubits. Through calculating the concurrence of the system, we find that the evolution of the bipartite entanglement manifests two distinct patterns in the parameter space. In the low non-Hermiticity regime, the concurrence oscillates significantly, while in the opposite regime the same quantity would trend to a stable value. We attribute this phenomenon to parity-time ( PT ) symmetry phase transition. We also study the effect of decoherence on the entanglement dynamics. Our work provides a method to stabilize entanglement by exploiting non-Hermiticity.
