• Abstract: In this work we reexamine the EPR paradox for composite systems with a finite number of levels. The analysis emphasizes the connection between measurements and conditional probabilities. This connection implies, on the one hand, that when a measurement is performed, the new quantum state and the probability distribution becomes a function of the observable being measured. On the other hand, this becomes important when making predictions about the properties of the subsystems, since the predictions are implicitly a function of the observable that was measured. Systems with finitely many levels are simpler to describe because the analysis is not encumbered by the mathematical technicalities of the continuous case, and the underlying physical interpretations are the same.

We derive the exact form of the subleading logarithmic corrections to the extensive terms of correlation measures. This echoes the case of equilibrium states, where such logarithmic terms may convey universal information about the physical system.

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.
