• Title: Entanglement Transitions from Stochastic Resetting of Non-Hermitian Quasiparticles
• Authors: Xhek Turkeshi, Marcello Dalmonte, Rosario Fazio, Marco Schir\`o
• Abstract summary: We write down a renewal equation for the statistics of the entanglement entropy and show that depending on the spectrum of quasiparticle decay rates different entanglement scaling can arise and even sharp entanglement phase transitions. When applied to a Quantum Ising chain where the transverse magnetization is measured by quantum jumps, our theory predicts a critical phase with logarithmic scaling of the entanglement, an area law phase and a continuous phase transition between them, with an effective central charge vanishing as a square root at the transition point.

• Abstract: We put forward a phenomenological theory for entanglement dynamics in monitored quantum many-body systems with well-defined quasiparticles. Within this theory entanglement is carried by ballistically propagating non-Hermitian quasiparticles which are stochastically reset by the measurement protocol with rate given by their finite inverse lifetime. We write down a renewal equation for the statistics of the entanglement entropy and show that depending on the spectrum of quasiparticle decay rates different entanglement scaling can arise and even sharp entanglement phase transitions. When applied to a Quantum Ising chain where the transverse magnetization is measured by quantum jumps, our theory predicts a critical phase with logarithmic scaling of the entanglement, an area law phase and a continuous phase transition between them, with an effective central charge vanishing as a square root at the transition point. We compare these predictions with with exact numerical calculations on the same model and find an excellent agreement.

  We experimentally observe the emergence of the quantum floating phase in 92 neutral-atom qubits. The site-resolved measurement reveals the formation of domain walls within the commensurate ordered phase. As the experimental system sizes increase, we show that the wave vectors approach a continuum of values incommensurate with the lattice.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  Many-body localization occurs on a spin-1/2 transverse-field Ising model. We observe a transition from an ergodic phase to a non-thermal phase for individual energy eigenstates. We realize the time-independent disordered Ising Hamiltonian experimentally on a D-Wave 2000Q programmable quantum annealer.

• Dissipative Floquet Dynamics: from Steady State to Measurement Induced Criticality in Trapped-ion Chains [0.0]
  Quantum systems evolving unitarily and subject to quantum measurements exhibit various types of non-equilibrium phase transitions. Dissipative phase transitions in steady states of time-independent Liouvillians and measurement induced phase transitions are two primary examples. We show that a dissipative phase transition between a ferromagnetic ordered phase and a paramagnetic disordered phase emerges for long-range systems.

• Measurement-induced dark state phase transitions in long-ranged fermion systems [3.093890460224435]
  We identify an unconventional scaling phase in the quantum dynamics of free fermions with long range hopping. A perturbative renormalization group analysis suggests that the transitions to the long-range phase are also unconventional, corresponding to a modified sine-Gordon theory. This confirms the view of a measurement-induced phase transition as a quantum phase transition in the dark state of an effective, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian.

We find a remarkably similar phenomenology as the measurement strength $gamma$ is increased. We interpret the central charge mismatch near the transition in terms of noise-induced disentanglement.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

• Quantum Statistical Complexity Measure as a Signalling of Correlation Transitions [55.41644538483948]
  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
