• Abstract: We study the non-unitary dynamics of a class of quantum circuits based on stochastically measuring check operators of subsystem quantum error-correcting codes, such as the Bacon-Shor code and its various generalizations. Our focus is on how properties of the underlying code are imprinted onto the measurement-only dynamics. We find that in a large class of codes with nonlocal stabilizer generators, at late times there is generically a nonlocal contribution to the subsystem entanglement entropy which scales with the subsystem size. The nonlocal stabilizer generators can also induce slow dynamics, since depending on the rate of competing measurements the associated degrees of freedom can take exponentially long (in system size) to purify (disentangle from the environment when starting from a mixed state) and to scramble (become entangled with the rest of the system when starting from a product state). Concretely, we consider circuits for which the nonlocal stabilizer generators of the underlying subsystem code take the form of subsystem symmetries. We present a systematic study of the phase diagrams and relevant time scales in two and three spatial dimensions for both Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) and non-CSS codes, focusing in particular on the link between slow measurement-only dynamics and the geometry of the subsystem symmetry. A key finding of our work is that slowly purifying or scrambling degrees of freedom appear to emerge only in codes whose subsystem symmetries are nonlocally {\it generated}, a strict subset of those whose symmetries are simply nonlocal. We comment on the link between our results on subsystem codes and the phenomenon of Hilbert-space fragmentation in light of their shared algebraic structure.

We construct a general recipe for mimicking the conditional entanglement dynamics of a monitored system in a corresponding measurement-free dissipative system. This mirror setup autonomously implements a measurement-feedforward dynamics that effectively retains a small fraction of the information content in a typical measurement record.

  Our study uses a Fokker-Planck approach, adapted from statistical physics, to explore these parallels.

We propose a new variation of Langevin dynamics (SGLD) that harnesses without replacement minibatching.

Our construction not only generalizes the recently introduced subsystem toric code, but also provides a new perspective on several aspects of the original model.

  In this work, we extend the interplay between quantum information system and gauge-theory model from the view point of subsystem code. We show that $Z$ lattice-Higgs model in (2+1)-dimensions with specific open boundary conditions is noting but a kind of subsystem code. Mixed anomaly of them dictates the existence of boundary zero modes, which is a direct consequence of symmetry-protected topological order in Higgs and confinement phases.

  measurement-induced quantum back action can be eliminated in composite systems by engineering quantum-mechanics-free subspaces. The utility of the concept has been limited by the requirement of close proximity of the resonance frequencies of the system of interest and the negative-mass reference system. Here we propose a general approach which overcomes these limitations by employing periodic modulation of the driving fields.
