• Title: Measurement resolution enhanced coherence for lattice fermions
• Authors: H. M. Hurst, Yik Haw Teoh, I. B. Spielman,
• Abstract summary: We study a minimal many-particle model consisting of weakly measured non-interacting fermions in a one dimensional lattice. We calculate the properties of these BFSs for systems up to 32 sites and find that even for moderate reductions in measurement resolution they yield non-trivial steady state entanglement and coherence.

• Abstract: Weak measurement enables the extraction of targeted information from a quantum system while minimizing decoherence due to measurement backaction. However, in many-body quantum systems backaction can have unexpected effects on wavefunction collapse. We theoretically study a minimal many-particle model consisting of weakly measured non-interacting fermions in a one dimensional lattice. Repeated measurement of on-site occupation number with single-site resolution stochastically drives the system toward a Fock state, regardless of the initial state. This need not be the case for measurements that do not, even in principle, have single-site spatial resolution. We numerically show for systems with up to 16 sites that decreasing the spatial resolution strongly affects both the rate of stochastic evolution for each quantum trajectory and the allowed final states. The full Hilbert space can be partitioned into backaction-free subspaces (BFSs) the elements of which are indistinguishable to these measurements. Repeated measurements will drive any initial state into a single BFS, leading to a steady state that is a fixed point of the measurement process. We exactly calculate the properties of these BFSs for systems up to 32 sites and find that even for moderate reductions in measurement resolution they yield non-trivial steady state entanglement and coherence.

  Note draws attention to the observation that, in several settings of interest for quantum engineering, this diffusion in fact takes place in low dimension. Namely, the state remains confined in a low-dimensional nonlinear manifold, often time-dependent, but independent of the measurement results.

  We show that the same problem arises in non-relativistic quantum physics, where joint nonlocal measurements lead to signaling. We develop a non-relativistic quantum information approach developed independently of the impossible measurements in QFT. These considerations could help guide the development of a complete theory of measurement in QFT.

• Dilute measurement-induced cooling into many-body ground states [0.5492530316344587]
  Cooling a quantum system to its ground state is important for the characterization of non-trivial interacting systems. We identify conditions under which measurement-based cooling protocols can be taken to the dilute limit. For two examples of frustration-free one-dimensional spin chains, we show that steering on a single link is sufficient to cool these systems into their unique ground states.

The heart of our setup is the novel soliton Josephson Junction (SJJ) system providing the formation of the quantum probe. We illustrate that such states are close to the optimal ones even with moderate losses.

• 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.

  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.

  Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
