• Abstract: We introduce a hydrodynamic framework for describing monitored classical stochastic processes. We study the conditional ensembles for these monitored processes -- i.e., we compute spacetime correlation functions conditioned on a fixed, typical measurement record. In the presence of global symmetries we show that these conditional ensembles can undergo measurement-induced ``sharpening'' phase transitions as a function of the monitoring rate; moreover, even weak monitoring can give rise to novel critical phases, derived entirely from a classical perspective. We give a simple hydrodynamic derivation of the known charge-sharpening transition for diffusive many-body quantum systems. We show that although the unmonitored symmetric and asymmetric exclusion processes are in different universality classes of transport, their conditional ensembles flow to the same fixed point with emergent relativistic invariance under monitoring. On the other hand, weakly monitored systems with non-Abelian symmetries enter a novel strongly coupled fixed point with non-trivial dynamical exponent, which we characterize. Our formalism naturally accounts for monitoring general observables, such as currents or density gradients, and allows for a direct calculation of information-theoretic diagnostics of sharpening transitions, including the Shannon entropy of the measurement record.

• Entanglement and operator correlation signatures of many-body quantum Zeno phases in inefficiently monitored noisy systems [49.1574468325115]
  The interplay between information-scrambling Hamiltonians and local continuous measurements hosts platforms for exotic measurement-induced phase transition. We identify a non-monotonic dependence on the local noise strength in both the averaged entanglement and operator correlations. The analysis of scaling with the system size in a finite length chain indicates that, at finite efficiency, this effect leads to distinct MiPTs for operator correlations and entanglement.

• Interactions and integrability in weakly monitored Hamiltonian systems [0.0]
  Interspersing unitary dynamics with local measurements results in measurement-induced phases and transitions in quantum systems. Two types of transitions have been observed, characterized by an abrupt change in the system size scaling of entanglement entropy. We identify the key ingredients responsible for the entanglement scaling in the weakly monitored phase.

  Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) have recently gained a lot of attention in machine learning. theoretical aspects, e.g., identifiability and properties of statistical estimation are still obscure. This paper derives a sufficient condition for the identifiability of homogeneous linear ODE systems from a sequence of equally-spaced error-free observations sampled from a single trajectory.

• Monitored Open Fermion Dynamics: Exploring the Interplay of Measurement, Decoherence, and Free Hamiltonian Evolution [0.0]
  We investigate the impact of dephasing and the inevitable evolution into a non-Gaussian, mixed state, on the dynamics of monitored fermions. For weak dephasing, constant monitoring preserves a weakly mixed state, which displays a robust measurement-induced phase transition. We interpret this as a signature of gapless, classical diffusion, which is stabilized by the balanced interplay of Hamiltonian dynamics, measurements, and decoherence.

• Entanglement and charge-sharpening transitions in U(1) symmetric monitored quantum circuits [1.1968749490556412]
  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.

  Periodically driven quantum systems, known as Floquet systems, have been a focus of non-equilibrium physics in recent years. We show how to characterize dynamical symmetries by observing the symmetry-induced selection rules between Floquet states. Our work shows how to exploit the quantum control toolkit to study dynamical symmetries that can arise in topological phases of strongly-driven Floquet systems.

• 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.
