• Abstract summary: We introduce a class of hybrid quantum circuits, with random unitaries and projective measurements. Our primary example is circuits with unitaries respecting a global Ising symmetry and two competing types of measurements. We analyze generalizations of such hybrid circuits to higher dimensions, which allow for coexistence of order and volume law entanglement.

• Abstract: We introduce a class of hybrid quantum circuits, with random unitaries and projective measurements, which host long-range order in the area law entanglement phase of the steady state. Our primary example is circuits with unitaries respecting a global Ising symmetry and two competing types of measurements. The phase diagram has an area law phase with spin glass order, which undergoes a direct transition to a paramagnetic phase with volume law entanglement, as well as a critical regime. Using mutual information diagnostics, we find that such entanglement transitions preserving a global symmetry are in new universality classes. We analyze generalizations of such hybrid circuits to higher dimensions, which allow for coexistence of order and volume law entanglement, as well as topological order without any symmetry restrictions.

  We study the behavior of measurement-induced phase transition (MIPT) in hybrid quantum circuits with both unitary gates and measurements. We show that the entangling power and gate typicality of the two-qubit local unitaries employed in the circuit can be used to explain the behavior of global bipartite entanglement.

  We compute the geometric phases acquired in both unitary and dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models. In the dissipative model, the non-unitary effects arise from the outflow of photons through the cavity walls. We show the geometric phase is robust, exhibiting a vanishing correction under a non-unitary evolution.

• Measurement-induced criticality in extended and long-range unitary circuits [0.0]
  We find the range of interactions plays a key role in characterizing both phases and their measurement-induced transitions. For the cluster unitary gates we find a transition between a phase with volume-law scaling of the entanglement entropy and a phase with area-law entanglement entropy. In the case of power-law distributed gates, we find the universality class of the phase transition changes continuously with the parameter controlling the range of interactions.

  Weak measurements in particular, through their back-action on the system, may enable various levels of coherent control. We measure the geometric phases induced by sequences of weak measurements and demonstrate a topological transition in the geometric phase controlled by measurement strength. Our results open new horizons for measurement-enabled quantum control of many-body topological states.
