• Authors: Kyrylo Snizhko, Parveen Kumar, Nihal Rao, and Yuval Gefen
• Abstract summary: We study sequences of generalized (weak) measurements that steer a system in a closed trajectory. The readout process is marked by fluctuations, giving rise to dephasing. The dephasing diverges at certain protocol parameters, marking topological transitions in the measurement-induced phase factor.

• Abstract: Geometrical dephasing is distinct from dynamical dephasing in that it depends on the trajectory traversed, hence it reverses its sign upon flipping the direction in which the path is traced. Here we study sequences of generalized (weak) measurements that steer a system in a closed trajectory. The readout process is marked by fluctuations, giving rise to dephasing. Rather than classifying the latter as "dynamical" and "geometrical", we identify a contribution which is invariant under reversing the sequence ordering and, in analogy with geometrical dephasing, one which flips its sign upon the reversal of the winding direction, possibly resulting in partial suppression of dephasing (i.e., "coherency enhancement"). This dephasing asymmetry (under winding reversal) is a manifestation of intrinsic chirality, which weak measurements can (and generically do) possess. Furthermore, the dephasing diverges at certain protocol parameters, marking topological transitions in the measurement-induced phase factor.

  We study entanglement and sharpening transitions in monitored quantum trees obeying U (1) and SU (2) symmetries. We find that the entanglement/purification and sharpening transitions generically occur at distinct measurement rates. In the SU (2) case, we find that the fuzzy phase is generic, and a sharp phase is possible only in the limit of maximal measurement rate.

  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.

  Coherent steering of a quantum state, induced by a sequence of weak measurements, has become an active area of theoretical and experimental study. Superseding common wisdom, we show that the symmetric and the antisymmetric components do not correspond to the dynamical and geometrical parts respectively. We find transitions between different topologically distinct sectors, defined by integer-valued winding numbers, and show that the transitions are accompanied by diverging dephasing.

  We show that the Analytic Signal phase, and its gradient have a hitherto unstudied discontinuity in $2-D $ and higher dimensions. This shortcoming can result in severe artifacts whereas the problem does not exist in $1-D $ signals. We suggest the use of Linear Symmetry phase, relying on more than one set of Gabor filters, but with a negligible computational add-on.
