• Abstract: Quantum-to-classical transition for finite-dimensional systems is widely considered to occur continuously, yet the mechanism underlying the intermediate stage remains unclear. In this work, we address this challenge by adopting an operational framework to bridge discrete generalized coherent state positive-operator-valued measurements and continuous isotropic depolarizing channels. Our unified treatment reveals how dimensionality and decoherence rate collectively govern the quantum-to-classical transition. Notably, we demonstrate that a single-shot generalized measurement can eliminate most negative quasi-probabilities in phase space for finite-dimensional systems. Furthermore, we propose quantum circuit implementations achievable with current state-of-the-art quantum technologies.

  We make measurement-induced phase transitions observable using pre-selection scheme. The steering can be chosen so gently that the basic properties of the underlying transition, such as entanglement structure and critical exponents, are not modified. This insight further enables a quantum simulation strategy, determining the underlying class in state-of-the-art quantum platforms without measurement readout.
