• Abstract: In the past years, many efforts have been made to study various noteworthy phenomena in both parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) and anti-parity-time ($\mathcal{APT}$) symmetric systems. However, entanglement dynamics in $\mathcal{APT}$-symmetric systems has not previously been investigated in both theory and experiments. Here, we investigate the entanglement evolution of two qubits in an $\mathcal{APT}$-symmetric system. In the $\mathcal{APT}$-symmetric unbroken regime, our theoretical simulations demonstrate the periodic oscillations of entanglement when each qubit evolves identically, while the nonperiodic oscillations of entanglement when each qubit evolves differently. In particular, when each qubit evolves near the exceptional point in the $\mathcal{APT}$-symmetric unbroken regime, there exist entanglement sudden vanishing and revival. Moreover, our simulations demonstrate rapid decay and delayed death of entanglement provided one qubit evolves in the $\mathcal{APT}$-symmetric broken regime. In this work, we also perform an experiment with a linear optical setup. The experimental results agree well with our theoretical simulation results. Our findings reveal novel phenomena of entanglement evolution in the $\mathcal{APT}$-symmetric system and opens a new direction for future studies on the dynamics of quantum entanglement in multiqubit $\mathcal{APT}$-symmetric systems or other non-Hermitian quantum systems.

  We study the interplay between $mathcalPT$-symmetry and quantum chaos in a non-Hermitian dynamical system. We find that the complex level spacing ratio can distinguish between all three phases. In the phases with $mathcalPT$-symmetry, the OTOC exhibits behaviour akin to what is observed in the Hermitian system.

We show how $PT$ symmetry may allow interpretations that evade ghosts and instabilities present in an interpretation of the theory within a Hermitian framework.

  We focus on the dynamical features of a triple-qubit system, one of which evolves under local $mathcalPT$-symmetric Hamiltonian. A new kind of abnormal dynamic pattern in the entropy evolution process is identified, which presents a parameter-dependent stable state. Our work reveals the distinctive dynamic features in the triple-qubit $mathcalPT$-symmetric system and paves the way for practical quantum simulation of multi-party non-Hermitian system on quantum computers.
