• Abstract summary: Repeated local measurements of quantum many body systems can induce a phase transition in their entanglement structure. We probe the properties of the conformal field theories governing these phase transitions using a numerical transfer-matrix method. Our results provide convincing evidence that the generic and Clifford MIPTs lie in different classes and that both are distinct from the percolation transition for qudits in the limit of large onsite Hilbert space dimension.

• Abstract: Repeated local measurements of quantum many body systems can induce a phase transition in their entanglement structure. These measurement-induced phase transitions (MIPTs) have been studied for various types of dynamics, yet most cases yield quantitatively similar values of the critical exponents, making it unclear if there is only one underlying universality class. Here, we directly probe the properties of the conformal field theories governing these MIPTs using a numerical transfer-matrix method, which allows us to extract the effective central charge, as well as the first few low-lying scaling dimensions of operators at these critical points. Our results provide convincing evidence that the generic and Clifford MIPTs for qubits lie in different universality classes and that both are distinct from the percolation transition for qudits in the limit of large onsite Hilbert space dimension. For the generic case, we find strong evidence of multifractal scaling of correlation functions at the critical point, reflected in a continuous spectrum of scaling dimensions.

  We provide an analysis of recent results in the context of measurement-induced phase transitions in quantum systems. Recent results show how varying the rate of projective measurements can induce phase transitions. We present results on the non-local effects of local measurements by examining the field theory of critical ground states in Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids.

  We study the effects of different forms of weak measurements on the nature of the measurement induced phase transition. We find that the universal critical properties are unaffected by the weak measurement protocols and are consistent with the universality class found for strong projective measurements.

We consider GSPM-based gradient flows for generative modeling applications and show that under mild assumptions, the gradient flow converges to the global optimum.
