Violation of Invariance of Entanglement Under Local PT Symmetric Unitary

Abstract

Entanglement is one of the key feature of quantum world and any entanglement measure must satisfy some basic laws. Most important of them is the invariance of entanglement under local unitary operations. We show that this is no longer true with local $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$ symmetric unitary operations. If two parties share a maximally entangled state, then under local $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$ symmetric unitary evolution the entropy of entanglement for pure bipartite states does not remain invariant. Furthermore, we show that if one of the party has access to $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric quantum world, then a maximally entangled state in usual quantum theory appears as a non-maximally entangled states for the other party. This we call as the "entanglement mismatch" effect which can lead to the violation of the no-signaling condition.
