• Abstract: The energy level statistics of uniform random graphs are studied, by treating the graphs as random tight-binding lattices. The inherent random geometry of the graphs and their dynamical spatial dimensionality, leads to various quantum chaotic and localized phases and transitions between them. Essentially the random geometry acts as disorder, whose strength is characterized by the ratio of edges over vertices R in the graphs. For dense graphs, with large ratio R, the spacing between successive energy levels follows the Wigner-Dyson distribution, leading to a quantum chaotic behavior and a metallic phase, characterized by level repulsion. For ratios near R=0.5, where a large dominating component in the graph appears, the level spacing follows the Poisson distribution with level crossings and a localized phase for the respective wavefunctions lying on the graph. For intermediate ratios R we observe a phase transition between the quantum chaotic and localized phases characterized by a semi-Poisson distribution. The values R of the critical regime where the phase transition occurs depend on the energy of the system. Our analysis shows that physical systems with random geometry, for example ones with a fluctuating/dynamical spatial dimension, contain novel universal phase transition properties, similar to those occuring in more traditional phase transitions based on symmetry breaking mechanisms, whose universal properties are strongly determined by the dimensionality of the system.

  We write down a renewal equation for the statistics of the entanglement entropy and show that depending on the spectrum of quasiparticle decay rates different entanglement scaling can arise and even sharp entanglement phase transitions. When applied to a Quantum Ising chain where the transverse magnetization is measured by quantum jumps, our theory predicts a critical phase with logarithmic scaling of the entanglement, an area law phase and a continuous phase transition between them, with an effective central charge vanishing as a square root at the transition point.

  We identify an unconventional scaling phase in the quantum dynamics of free fermions with long range hopping. A perturbative renormalization group analysis suggests that the transitions to the long-range phase are also unconventional, corresponding to a modified sine-Gordon theory. This confirms the view of a measurement-induced phase transition as a quantum phase transition in the dark state of an effective, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian.
