• Authors: Xu Feng, Shuo Liu, Shu Chen, Wenan Guo
• Abstract summary: In open quantum systems with free fermions, a generalized measurement with conditional feedback can induce skin effect. 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.

• Abstract: Measurement-induced phase transition in the presence of competition between projective measurement and random unitary evolution has attracted increasing attention due to the rich phenomenology of entanglement structures. However, in open quantum systems with free fermions, a generalized measurement with conditional feedback can induce skin effect and render the system short-range entangled without any entanglement transition, meaning the system always remains in the ``area law'' entanglement phase. In this work, we demonstrate that the power-law long-range hopping does not alter the absence of entanglement transition brought on by the measurement-induced skin effect for systems with open boundary conditions. In addition, for the finite-size systems, we discover an algebraic scaling $S(L, L/4)\sim L^{3/2-p}$ when the power-law exponent $p$ of long-range hopping is relatively small. For systems with periodic boundary conditions, we find that the measurement-induced skin effect disappears and observe entanglement phase transitions among ``algebraic law'', ``logarithmic law'', and ``area law'' phases.

• Measurement induced transitions in non-Markovian free fermion ladders [0.0]
  We consider two coupled chains of free fermions, one acting as the system of interest, and one as a bath. The bath chain is subject to Markovian measurements, resulting in an effective non-Markovian dissipative dynamics acting on the system chain. We quantify the non-Markovianity of the system chain dynamics and find that for the regimes of parameters we study, a stronger non-Markovianity is associated to a larger entanglement within the system.

• Absence of measurement-induced entanglement transition due to feedback-induced skin effect [7.470473448588115]
  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.
