• Abstract: Dissipative many-body quantum dynamics can feature strong symmetries which give rise to conserved quantities. We discuss here how a strong symmetry in conjunction with a nonequilibrium phase transition allows to devise a protocol for measuring collective many-body observables. To demonstrate this idea we consider a collective spin system whose constituents are governed by a dissipative dynamics that conserves the total angular momentum. We show that by continuously monitoring the system output the value of the total angular momentum can be inferred directly from the time-integrated emission signal, without the need of repeated projective measurements or reinitializations of the spins. This may offer a route towards the measurement of collective properties in qubit ensembles, with applications in quantum tomography, quantum computation and quantum metrology.

  We study how entanglement dynamics in non-unitary quantum circuits can be enriched in the presence of charge conservation. We uncover a charge-sharpening transition that separates different scrambling phases with volume-law scaling of entanglement. We find that while R'enyi entropies grow sub-ballistically as $sqrttt$ in the absence of measurement, for even an infinitesimal rate of measurements, all average R'enyi entropies grow ballistically with time.

  We show that for a many-body system evolving under competing unitary evolution and variable-strength measurements the onset of the Zeno effect takes the form of a sharp phase transition. We show that this transition is invisible to the average dynamics, but encoded in the rare fluctuations of the measurement process.

• Measurement-induced quantum criticality under continuous monitoring [0.0]
  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.

• Quantum Zeno effect appears in stages [64.41511459132334]
  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
