An SL(2,C)-parametrized family of exactly solvable non-unitary conformal interfaces is constructed on the lattice in unitary CFTs via analytic continuation, leading to a non-unitary Cardy condition and logarithmic entanglement with generally complex effective central charge.

Analytic continuation of marginal couplings produces complex CFTs, with no genuinely complex rational CFTs existing, and exact defect results verified in non-Hermitian Ising and fermion chains.
Local CFTs lie at the extrema of the sphere free energy tilde F for nonlocal CFT lines, and maximize it when unitary.
