• Title: Theoretical investigation of the relations between quantum decoherence and weak-to-strong measurement transition
• Authors: Xiao-Feng Song, Shuang Liu, Xi-Hao Chen, Yusuf Turek,
• Abstract summary: We focus on the interplay between quantum decoherence and the transition from weak to strong measurement. Our findings reveal that both phenomena can be effectively characterized by a universal transition factor intricately linked to the coupling between the system and the measurement apparatus. The analysis presented can clarify the mechanism behind the relations of quantum decoherence to the weak measurement and weak-to-strong measurement transition.

• Abstract: This paper delves into the crucial aspects of pointer-induced quantum decoherence and the transition between von Neumann's projective strong measurement and Aharonov's weak measurement. Both phenomena significantly impact the dynamical understanding of quantum measurement processes. Specifically, we focus on the interplay between quantum decoherence and the transition from weak to strong measurement by deducing and comparing the quantum decoherence and weak-to-strong measurement transition factors within a general model and using the well-known Stern-Gerlach experiment as an illustrative example. Our findings reveal that both phenomena can be effectively characterized by a universal transition factor intricately linked to the coupling between the system and the measurement apparatus. The analysis presented can clarify the mechanism behind the relations of quantum decoherence to the weak measurement and weak-to-strong measurement transition.

  We report an observable-sharpening measurement-induced phase transition in a chain of trapped ions in Quantinuum H1-1 system model quantum processor. This transition manifests as a sharp, concomitant change in both the quantum uncertainty of an observable and the amount of information an observer can learn from the measurement record. We leverage insights from statistical mechanical models and machine learning to design efficiently-computable algorithms to observe this transition.

  Measurement-induced phase transition arises from the competition between a deterministic quantum evolution and a repeated measurement process. We demonstrate through the scaling behavior of the quantum Fisher information the transition of the multi-partite entanglement across the phases. Our results offer novel insights into the features of a quantum systems undergoing measurement-induced phase transition and indicate potential avenues for further exploration in the field of quantum physics.

• 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.
