• Abstract summary: Non-Hermitian systems with parity-time ($mathcalPT$) symmetry and anti-$mathcalPT$ symmetry give rise to exceptional points (EPs) We propose a powerful and easily computable tool, based on the Hilbert-Schmidt speed (HSS), which does not require the diagonalization of the evolved density matrix. We find that the trace distance, a measure of distinguishability of two arbitrary quantum states, may be non-contractive under the non-Hermitian evolution of the system.

• Abstract: Non-Hermitian systems with parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry and anti-$\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry give rise to exceptional points (EPs) with intriguing properties related to, e.g., chiral transport and enhanced sensitivity, due to the coalescence of eigenvectors. In this paper, we propose a powerful and easily computable tool, based on the Hilbert-Schmidt speed (HSS), which does not require the diagonalization of the evolved density matrix, to detect exactly the EPs and hence the critical behavior of the (anti-)$\mathcal{PT}\!-$symmetric systems, especially high-dimensional ones. Our theoretical predictions, made without the need for modification of the Hilbert space, which is performed by diagonalizing one of the observables, are completely consistent with results extracted from recent experiments studying the criticality in (anti-)$\mathcal{PT}\!-$symmetric systems. Nevertheless, not modifying the Hilbert space of the non-Hermitian system, we find that the trace distance, a measure of distinguishability of two arbitrary quantum states, whose dynamics is known as a faithful witness of non-Markovianity in Hermitian systems, may be non-contractive under the non-Hermitian evolution of the system. Therefore, it lacks one of the most important characteristics which must be met by any standard witness of non-Markovianity.
