• Title: Environment-Induced Information Scrambling Transition with Charge Conservations
• Authors: Pengfei Zhang, Zhenhua Yu
• Abstract summary: In generic closed quantum systems, the complexity of operators increases under time evolution governed by the Heisenberg equation. When systems interact with an external environment, the system-environment coupling allows operators to escape from the system. This transition is known as the environment-induced information scrambling transition, originally proposed in Majorana fermion systems.

• Abstract: In generic closed quantum systems, the complexity of operators increases under time evolution governed by the Heisenberg equation, reflecting the scrambling of local quantum information. However, when systems interact with an external environment, the system-environment coupling allows operators to escape from the system, inducing a dynamical transition between the scrambling phase and the dissipative phase. This transition is known as the environment-induced information scrambling transition, originally proposed in Majorana fermion systems. In this work, we advance this dicovery by investigating the transition in charge-conserved systems with space-time randomness. We construct solvable Brownian Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models of complex fermions coupled to an environment, enabling the analytical computation of operator growth. We determine the critical dissipation strength, which is proportional to $n(1-n)$ with $n$ being the density of the complex fermions, arising from the suppression in the quantum Lyapunov exponent due to the Pauli blockade in the scattering process. We further analyze the density dependence of maximally scrambled operators at late time. Our results shed light on the intriguing interplay between information scrambling, dissipation, and conservation laws.

  In quantum many-body systems, interactions play a crucial role in the emergence of information scrambling. We show an escape-to-scrambling transition when tuning the interaction strength for fermions in three dimensions. Our predictions are validated using both a Brownian circuit with a single Majorana fermion per site and a solvable Brownian SYK model with a large local Hilbert space dimension.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We predict a transition in quantum systems with all-to-all interactions accompanied by an environment.

  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.
