- Abstract: Much has been learned about universal properties of the eigenstate
entanglement entropy for one-dimensional lattice models, which is described by
a Hermitian Hamiltonian. While very less of it has been understood for
non-Hermitian systems. In the present work we study a non-Hermitian,
non-interacting model of fermions which is invariant under combined $PT$
transformation. Our models show a phase transition from $PT$ unbroken phase to
broken phase as we tune the hermiticity breaking parameter. Entanglement
entropy of such systems can be defined in two different ways, depending on
whether we consider only right (or equivalently only left) eigenstates or a
combination of both left and right eigenstates which form a complete set of
bi-orthonormal eigenstates. We demonstrate that the entanglement entropy of the
ground state and also of the typical excited states show some unique features
in both of these phases of the system. Most strikingly, entanglement entropy
obtained taking a combination of both left and right eigenstates shows an
exponential divergence with system size at the transition point. While in the
$PT$-unbroken phase, the entanglement entropy obtained from only the right (or
equivalently left) eigenstates shows identical behavior as of an equivalent
Hermitian system which is connected to the non-Hermitian system by a similarity
transformation.

We demonstrate three types of transformations that establish connections between Hermitian and non-Hermitian quantum systems at criticality.
For the transformation preserving both the energy and the entanglement spectra, the corresponding central charges obtained from the logarithmic scaling of the entanglement entropy are identical for both Hermitian and non-Hermitian systems.
The second transformation, while preserving the energy spectrum, does not perserve the entanglement spectrum.

We present stringent numerical evidence in the Rabi and Dicke models, suggesting that this result is exact in the thermodynamic limit.

Entanglement entropy is the von Neumann entropy of quantum entanglement of pure states.
The relation between entanglement entropy and entanglement distillation has been known only for the setting, and the meaning of entanglement entropy in the single-copy regime has so far remained open.
Our results imply that entanglement entropy quantifies the amount of entanglement available in a bipartite pure state to be used for quantum information processing, giving results an operational meaning also in entangled single-copy setup.
