• Abstract summary: We consider a model of monitored quantum dynamics with quenched spatial randomness. We find that at the critical measurement rate, the entanglement of a subsystem $ell$ scales as $S sim sqrtell$. We argue for this infinite-randomness scenario on general grounds and present numerical evidence that it captures some features of the universal critical properties of MIPT.

• Abstract: We consider a model of monitored quantum dynamics with quenched spatial randomness: specifically, random quantum circuits with spatially varying measurement rates. These circuits undergo a measurement-induced phase transition (MIPT) in their entanglement structure, but the nature of the critical point differs drastically from the case with constant measurement rate. In particular, at the critical measurement rate, we find that the entanglement of a subsystem of size $\ell$ scales as $S \sim \sqrt{\ell}$; moreover, the dynamical critical exponent $z = \infty$. The MIPT is flanked by Griffiths phases with continuously varying dynamical exponents. We argue for this infinite-randomness scenario on general grounds and present numerical evidence that it captures some features of the universal critical properties of MIPT using large-scale simulations of Clifford circuits. These findings demonstrate that the relevance and irrelevance of perturbations to the MIPT can naturally be interpreted using a powerful heuristic known as the Harris criterion.

  We study how entanglement dynamics in non-unitary quantum circuits can be enriched in the presence of charge conservation. We uncover a charge-sharpening transition that separates different scrambling phases with volume-law scaling of entanglement. We find that while R'enyi entropies grow sub-ballistically as $sqrttt$ in the absence of measurement, for even an infinitesimal rate of measurements, all average R'enyi entropies grow ballistically with time.
