• Abstract: Quantum systems under continuous weak measurement follow stochastic differential equations (SDE). Depending on the stochastic measurement results indeed, the quantum state can progressively diffuse, a priori in all directions of state space. This 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. The note provides the corresponding low-dimensional expressions for computing the stochastically evolving state in several such settings: quantum non-demolition measurement in arbitrary dimensions; quadrature measurements on a harmonic oscillator (linear quantum system); and subsystem measurement in multi-partite quantum systems. An algebraic criterion is proposed to directly check when such low-dimensional manifolds exist or survive under additional dynamics.

  Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution. As with present-day calculations, quantum computation strategies still require the restriction to a finite system size. We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.

• 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.
