- Abstract: In this study, we investigate qubit dynamics under PT and Anti-PT-symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, focusing on phase evolution, decoherence, quantum speed limits (QSL), and R\'enyi entanglement entropies. Using similarity transformations and Dyson maps, we analyze the reduced density matrix evolution in bosonic environments. Anti-PT-symmetric systems show enhanced robustness against decoherence, with slower entropy growth and longer coherence times compared to PT-symmetric counterparts. QSL behavior is non-monotonic, reflecting rapid initial evolution followed by a gradual decrease. Higher-order R\'enyi entropies reveal that Anti-PT-symmetric qubits preserve quantum information more effectively, offering advantages for memory and cryptographic applications.

Parity-time (PT) symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonians bring about many novel features and interesting applications.
The performance of evolutions under $mathcalPT$-symmetric Hamiltonians is degraded by the inevitable noise and errors.
In contrast to Hermitian Hamiltonians, the fluctuations in dissipative beams that are utilized to generate non-Hermitian contributions in the PT-symmetric Hamiltonians cause additional errors.
Here we achieve the protection of PT-symmetric Hamiltonians against noise acting along the qubit's quantization axis by combining quantum evolutions with dynamical decoupling sequences
