• Authors: Lorenzo Piroli, Yaodong Li, Romain Vasseur, Adam Nahum
• Abstract summary: We study quantum circuits consisting of unitary gates, projective measurements, and control operations that steer the system towards a pure absorbing state. Two types of phase transition occur as the rate of these control operations is increased: a measurement-induced entanglement transition, and a directed percolation transition into the absorbing state.

• Abstract: We study quantum circuits consisting of unitary gates, projective measurements, and control operations that steer the system towards a pure absorbing state. Two types of phase transition occur as the rate of these control operations is increased: a measurement-induced entanglement transition, and a directed percolation transition into the absorbing state (taken here to be a product state). In this work we show analytically that these transitions are generically distinct, with the quantum trajectories becoming disentangled before the absorbing state transition is reached, and we analyze their critical properties. We introduce a simple class of models where the measurements in each quantum trajectory define an Effective Tensor Network (ETN) -- a subgraph of the initial spacetime graph where nontrivial time evolution takes place. By analyzing the entanglement properties of the ETN, we show that the entanglement and absorbing-state transitions coincide only in the limit of infinite local Hilbert-space dimension. Focusing on a Clifford model which allows numerical simulations for large system sizes, we verify our predictions and study the finite-size crossover between the two transitions at large local Hilbert space dimension. We give evidence that the entanglement transition is governed by the same fixed point as in hybrid circuits without feedback.

• Concomitant Entanglement and Control Criticality Driven by Collective Measurements [0.0]
  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 propose a protocol to detect entanglement phase transitions using linear cross-entropy. We demonstrate this protocol in systems with one-dimensional and all-to-all connectivities on IBM's quantum hardware on up to 22 qubits. Our demonstration paves the way for studies of measurement-induced entanglement phase transitions and associated critical phenomena on larger near-term quantum systems.

  We show that shared purity is as effective as concurrence in indicating quantum phase transitions. We find diverging exponents for the order parameters near the transitions in odd- and even-sized systems. It is plausible that the divergence is related to a M"obius strip-like boundary condition required for odd-sized systems.

  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.

  Weak measurements in particular, through their back-action on the system, may enable various levels of coherent control. We measure the geometric phases induced by sequences of weak measurements and demonstrate a topological transition in the geometric phase controlled by measurement strength. Our results open new horizons for measurement-enabled quantum control of many-body topological states.

• Quantum Statistical Complexity Measure as a Signalling of Correlation Transitions [55.41644538483948]
  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
