• Abstract: The effects of different forms of weak measurements on the nature of the measurement induced phase transition are theoretically studied in hybrid random quantum circuits of qubits. We use a combination of entanglement measures, ancilla purification dynamics, and a transfer matrix approach to compute the critical exponents, the effective central charge, and the multifractal spectrum of the measurement induced transitions. We compare weak measurements with an infinite number of discrete outcomes to a protocol with only a pair of outcomes and find that to within our numerical accuracy the universal critical properties are unaffected by the weak measurement protocols and are consistent with the universality class found for strong projective measurements.

  We derive a partial post-selected Schrdinger"o equation based on a microscopic description of continuous weak measurement. We show that the passage to the monitored universality occurs abruptly at finite partial post-selection. Our approach establishes a way to study MiPTs for arbitrary subsets of quantum trajectories.

• Operator scaling dimensions and multifractality at measurement-induced transitions [0.0]
  Repeated local measurements of quantum many body systems can induce a phase transition in their entanglement structure. We probe the properties of the conformal field theories governing these phase transitions using a numerical transfer-matrix method. Our results provide convincing evidence that the generic and Clifford MIPTs lie in different classes and that both are distinct from the percolation transition for qudits in the limit of large onsite Hilbert space dimension.

  We investigate entanglement phase transitions from volume-law to area-law entanglement in a quantum many-body state under continuous position measurement. We find the signatures of the transitions as peak structures in the mutual information as a function of measurement strength. We propose a possible experimental setup to test the predicted entanglement transition based on the subsystem particle-number fluctuations.
