• Abstract: As a generalization of entanglement entropy, pseudo entropy is not always real. The real-valued pseudo entropy has promising applications in holography and quantum phase transition. We apply the notion of pseudo-Hermticity to formulate the reality condition of pseudo entropy. We find the general form of the transition matrix for which the eigenvalues of the reduced transition matrix possess real or complex pairs of eigenvalues. Further, we construct a class of transition matrices for which the pseudo (R\'enyi) entropies are non-negative. Some known examples which give real pseudo entropy in quantum field theories can be explained in our framework. Our results offer a novel method to generate the transition matrix with real pseudo entropy. Finally, we show the reality condition for pseudo entropy is related to the Tomita-Takesaki modular theory for quantum field theory.

  We explore the concept of pseudo R'enyi entropy within the context of quantum field theories (QFTs) Our analysis reveals that the reality or complexity of the logarithmic term of pseudo R'enyi entropy can be explained through this pseudo-Hermitian framework. We also observe a universal divergent term in the second pseudo R'enyi entropy within 2-dimensional CFTs.

This unexpected structure in the temporal entanglement spectrum might be the key to an efficient computational implementation of the space evolution.

  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.
