Abstract

Abstract In this manuscript, we explore the properties of a non-Hermitian spin-1/2 XY model subjected to alternating imaginary and transverse magnetic fields. Focusing on a two-spin system, we systematically construct the ground state phase diagram and provide an exact calculation of the ground state entanglement via the Negativity measure. Our findings reveal that, within eigenstates influenced by the anisotropy parameter, real magnetic fields, and imaginary magnetic fields, the anisotropy parameter significantly enhances entanglement, whereas the real magnetic field tends to diminish or even annihilate it. Notably, in the ΡΤ-symmetry broken phase, quantum entanglement demonstrates increased resilience to variations in the real magnetic field with the strengthening of the imaginary magnetic field. For eigenstates governed purely by the imaginary magnetic field, we observe that the two-spin entanglement remains maximal (i.e., value of 1) within the ΡΤ-symmetry region, while it gradually declines in the ΡΤ-symmetry broken region as the parameter η0 decreases. An intriguing observation is that the first derivative of the Negativity shows non-analytic behavior at the critical points, highlighting the role of Negativity as a reliable and effective indicator of phase transitions in this non-Hermitian system.
