Our work unveils the double role of weak monitoring in current-driven open quantum systems, simultaneously damping transport and enhancing entanglement.

• Abstract: We investigate entanglement dynamics in continuously monitored open quantum systems featuring current-carrying non-equilibrium states. We focus on a prototypical one-dimensional model of boundary-driven non-interacting fermions with monitoring of the local density, whose average Lindblad dynamics features a well-studied ballistic to diffusive crossover in transport. Here we analyze the dynamics of the fermionic negativity, mutual information, and purity along different quantum trajectories. We show that monitoring this boundary-driven system enhances its entanglement negativity at long times, which otherwise decays to zero in absence of measurements. This result is in contrast with the case of unitary evolution where monitoring suppresses entanglement production. For small values of $\gamma$, the stationary-state negativity shows a logarithmic scaling with system size, transitioning to an area-law scaling as $\gamma$ is increased beyond a critical value. Similar critical behavior is found in the mutual information, while the late-time purity shows no apparent signature of a transition, being $O(1)$ for all values of $\gamma$. Our work unveils the double role of weak monitoring in current-driven open quantum systems, simultaneously damping transport and enhancing entanglement.

• Entanglement Transition due to particle losses in a monitored fermionic chain [0.0]
  We study the dynamics of the entanglement entropy under quantum jumps that induce local particle losses in a model of free fermions hopping. We show that by tuning the system parameters, a measurement-induced entanglement transition occurs where the entanglement entropy scaling changes from logarithmic to area-law.

  The interplay between information-scrambling Hamiltonians and local continuous measurements hosts platforms for exotic measurement-induced phase transition. We identify a non-monotonic dependence on the local noise strength in both the averaged entanglement and operator correlations. The analysis of scaling with the system size in a finite length chain indicates that, at finite efficiency, this effect leads to distinct MiPTs for operator correlations and entanglement.

  We show that local projective measurements induce a modification of the out-of-equilibrium probability distribution function of the local magnetization. In particular we describe how the probability distribution of the former shows different behaviour in the area-law and volume-law regimes.

• Monitored Open Fermion Dynamics: Exploring the Interplay of Measurement, Decoherence, and Free Hamiltonian Evolution [0.0]
  We investigate the impact of dephasing and the inevitable evolution into a non-Gaussian, mixed state, on the dynamics of monitored fermions. For weak dephasing, constant monitoring preserves a weakly mixed state, which displays a robust measurement-induced phase transition. We interpret this as a signature of gapless, classical diffusion, which is stabilized by the balanced interplay of Hamiltonian dynamics, measurements, and decoherence.

  We show that measurements can stabilize quantum entanglement within open quantum systems. Specifically, in random unitary circuits with dephasing at the boundary, we find both numerically and analytically that projective measurements performed at a small nonvanishing rate results in a steady state.

• Quantum Zeno effect appears in stages [64.41511459132334]
  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
