• Abstract: Hidden structures with well-defined predictability are uncovered in the evolution of a chaotic optomechanical system from the perspective of the $ε$-machine. Tuning the frequency of the driving laser can switch off this predictability, and such behaviour corresponds to a phase transition that is deeply related to topological changes in phase space. The transition probabilities between causal states allow us to define an entropy (uncertainty) that serves as an effective order parameter. This phase transition can be readily demonstrated in currently available experiments by monitoring the quadrature of the optical mode. We hope that this work could fundamentally broaden the regimes of cavity micromechanics and nonlinear optics.

  Phase transitions correspond to the singular behavior of physical systems in response to continuous control parameters like temperature or external fields. Near continuous phase transitions, associated with the divergence of a correlation length, universal power-law scaling behavior with critical exponents independent of microscopic system details is found.

  Measurement-induced entanglement phase transitions in monitored quantum systems are a striking example. We propose a neural network decoder to determine the state of the reference qubits conditioned on the measurement outcomes. We show that the entanglement phase transition manifests itself as a stark change in the learnability of the decoder function.

  We investigate a realistic scenario for the quantum simulation of such systems using cold Rydberg-dressed atoms in optical lattices.

  We show that the setup in a zigzag optical lattice provides a perfect platform to realize symmetry-protected topological phase transitions. By using infinite time-evolving block decimation, we obtain the phase diagram in a large parameter regions. We find another scheme to realize the long-sought vector chiral phase, which is robust from quantum fluctuations.

  We show that the winding number of the Hamiltonian eigenstates can be read-out by measuring the mean chiral displacement of a single-particle wavefunction. This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.
