• Authors: Xhek Turkeshi, Lorenzo Piroli, Marco Schirò,
• Abstract summary: We study the spatial profiles of the median density and current in a non-interacting fermions system. We find that, contrary to the averaged values, the spatial profiles of the median density and current are non-trivial. While we are not able to identify a sharp phase transition as a function of the monitoring rate, our work highlights the usefulness of characterizing typical behavior.

• Abstract: We consider a one-dimensional system of non-interacting fermions featuring both boundary driving and continuous monitoring of the bulk particle density. Due to the measurements, the expectation values of the local density and current operators are random variables whose average behavior is described by a well studied Lindblad master equation. By means of exact numerical computations, we go beyond the averaged dynamics and study their full probability distribution functions, focusing on the late-time stationary regime. We find that, contrary to the averaged values, the spatial profiles of the median density and current are non-trivial, exhibiting qualitative differences as a function of the monitoring strength. At weak monitoring, the medians are close to the means, displaying diffusive spatial profiles. At strong monitoring, we find that the median density and current develop a domain-wall and single-peak profile, respectively, which are suggestive of a Zeno-like localization in typical quantum trajectories. While we are not able to identify a sharp phase transition as a function of the monitoring rate, our work highlights the usefulness of characterizing typical behavior beyond the averaged values in the context of monitored many-body quantum 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 investigate entanglement dynamics in continuously monitored open quantum systems featuring current-carrying non-equilibrium states. We show that monitoring enhances its entanglement negativity at long times, which otherwise decays to zero in absence of measurements. Our work unveils the double role of weak monitoring in current-driven open quantum systems, simultaneously damping transport and enhancing entanglement.

  We investigate the impact of dephasing and the inevitable evolution into a non-Gaussian, mixed state, on the dynamics of monitored fermions. For weak dephasing, constant monitoring preserves a weakly mixed state, which displays a robust measurement-induced phase transition. We interpret this as a signature of gapless, classical diffusion, which is stabilized by the balanced interplay of Hamiltonian dynamics, measurements, and decoherence.
