contents Combining non-hermiticity and interactions yields novel effects in open quantum many-body systems. Here, we develop the generalized Schrieffer-Wolff transformation and derive the effective Hamiltonian suitable for various quasi-degenerate \textit{non-Hermitian} systems. We apply our results to an exemplary $\mathcal{PT}$--symmetric circuit QED composed of two non-Hermitian qubits embedded in a lossless resonator. We consider a resonant quantum circuit as $|ω_r-Ω| \ll ω_r$, where $Ω$ and $ω_r$ are qubits and resonator frequencies, respectively, providing well-defined groups of quasi-degenerate resonant states. For such a system, using direct numerical diagonalization we obtain the dependence of the low-lying eigenspectrum on the interaction strength between a single qubit and the resonator, $g$, and the gain (loss) parameter $γ$, and compare that with the eigenvalues obtained analytically using the effective Hamiltonian of resonant states. We identify $\mathcal{PT}$--symmetry broken and unbroken phases, trace the formation of Exceptional Points of the second and the third order, and provide a complete phase diagram $g-γ$ of low-lying resonant states. We relate the formation of Exceptional Points to the additional $\mathcal{P}$-pseudo-Hermitian symmetry of the system and show that non-hermiticity mixes the "dark" and the "bright" states, which has a direct experimental consequence.
