• Title: Absence of measurement-induced entanglement transition due to feedback-induced skin effect
• Authors: Yu-Peng Wang, Chen Fang, Jie Ren,
• Abstract summary: We find that certain open boundary systems under "generalized monitoring" display an anomalous late-time particle concentration on the edge, reminiscent of the "skin effect" in non-Hermitian systems. Such feedback-induced skin effect will suppress the entanglement generation, rendering the system short-range entangled without measurement-induced entanglement transition.

• Abstract: A quantum many-body system subject to unitary evolution and repeated local measurements with an increasing rate undergoes a measurement-induced entanglement transition from extensive (or subextensive) to area law entropy scaling. We find that certain open boundary systems under "generalized monitoring", consisting of "projective monitoring" and conditional feedback, display an anomalous late-time particle concentration on the edge, reminiscent of the "skin effect" in non-Hermitian systems. Such feedback-induced skin effect will suppress the entanglement generation, rendering the system short-range entangled without measurement-induced entanglement transition. While initially emerged in noninteracting models, such skin effect can also occur in chaotic interacting systems and Floquet quantum circuits subjected to random generalized measurements. Since the dynamics of the skin effect do not require post selection, and can be observed at the particle number level, the phenomenon is experimentally relevant and accessible in noisy intermediate-scale quantum platforms, such as trapped ions.

  A key challenge in observing measurement-induced phase transitions is the mitigation of the post-selection barrier. Recent studies suggest that some classes of infinite-range systems alleviate this problem by exhibiting a fast saturation. This paper answers whether this feature is inherent in infinite-range systems, due to their underlying semi-classical dynamics.

  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 demonstrate that the power-law long-range hopping does not alter the absence of entanglement transition. For systems with periodic boundary conditions, we find that the measurement-induced skin effect disappears.
