• Abstract: Many-body unitary dynamics interspersed with repeated measurements display a rich phenomenology hallmarked by measurement-induced phase transitions. Employing feedback-control operations that steer the dynamics toward an absorbing state, we study the entanglement entropy behavior at the absorbing state phase transition. For short-range control operations, we observe a transition between phases with distinct sub-extensive scalings of entanglement entropy. In contrast, the system undergoes a transition between volume-law and area-law phases for long-range feedback operations. The fluctuations of entanglement entropy and of the order parameter of the absorbing state transition are fully coupled for sufficiently strongly entangling feedback operations. In that case, entanglement entropy inherits the universal dynamics of the absorbing state transition. This is, however, not the case for arbitrary control operations, and the two transitions are generally distinct. We quantitatively support our results by introducing a framework based on stabilizer circuits with classical flag labels. Our results shed new light on the problem of observability of measurement-induced phase transitions.

  We develop a field-theoretical framework that provides a unified approach to observables characterizing entanglement and charge fluctuations. Within this framework, we derive a replicated Keldysh non-linear sigma model (NLSM) By using the renormalization-group approach for the NLSM, we determine the phase diagram and the scaling of physical observables.

  We study Adaptive quantum circuits where a quantum many-body state is controlled using measurements and conditional unitary operations. We find two types of nonequilibrium quantum phase transitions: measurement-induced transitions between volume- and area-law-entangled steady states and control-induced transitions where the system falls into an absorbing state. We attribute this feature and the apparent coincidence of the control and entanglement transitions to the global nature of the control.

  We study the many-body dynamics in a continuously monitored free fermion system with conditional feedback under open boundary conditions. We find a novel dynamical transition from a logarithmic scaling of the entanglement entropy to an area-law scaling as time evolves. In addition, we find that while quasidisorder or disorder cannot drive a transition for the steady state, a transition occurs for the maximum entanglement entropy during the time evolution.

  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.

  We introduce the entanglement echo as an overlap of the initial and instantaneous entanglement ground states. These transitions come in two varieties, the entanglement-type transitions and the bulk-type Loschmidt transitions. We propose an experimental probe to identify entanglement-type transitions through temporal changes in subsystem fluctuations.
