• Abstract: Monitored quantum many-body systems display a rich pattern of entanglement dynamics, which is unique to this non-unitary setting. This work studies the effect of quantum jumps on the entanglement dynamics beyond the no-click limit corresponding to a deterministic non-Hermitian evolution. We consider two examples, a monitored SSH model and a quantum Ising chain, for which we show the jumps have remarkably different effects on the entanglement despite having the same statistics as encoded in their waiting-time distribution. To understand this difference, we introduce a new metric, the statistics of entanglement gain and loss due to jumps and non-Hermitian evolution. This insight allows us to build a simple stochastic model of a random walk with partial resetting, which reproduces the entanglement dynamics, and to dissect the mutual role of jumps and non-Hermitian evolution on the entanglement scaling. We demonstrate that significant deviations from the no-click limit arise whenever quantum jumps strongly renormalize the non-Hermitian dynamics, as in the case of the SSH model at weak monitoring or in the Ising chain at large transverse field. On the other hand, we show that the weak monitoring phase of the Ising chain leads to a robust sub-volume logarithmic phase due to weakly renormalized non-Hermitian dynamics.

• Enhanced entanglement negativity in boundary driven monitored fermionic chains [0.0]
  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 also show that QCTF provides a new foundation to study the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH)

  Dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) feature singular temporal behavior in transient quantum states during nontrivial real-time evolution. We show that DQPTs in random Ising chains exhibit critical behavior with non exponents that are not integer valued and not of mean-field type. We discuss how the considered dynamical phenomena can be made accessible in current Rydberg atom platforms.
