• Abstract: We develop a framework for group-covariant quantum measurements in which measurement-induced transitions between irreducible representation sectors are described by a stochastic process on representation space. Starting from the Peter-Weyl decomposition, we construct covariant measurement operators from irreducible tensor operators and show that, for symmetry-invariant states, the measurement channel reduces to a Markov process on the representation graph. We further show that analyticity of the measurement operator constrains the detector spectrum through Sugiura's theorem, motivating a class of exponentially decaying detector models. Specializing to SU(2), we obtain the transition kernel in closed form, establish reversibility and the associated invariant measure, and derive a continuum Fokker-Planck description of the induced dynamics. Analytical predictions for the drift and diffusion coefficients are found to agree with numerical simulations. Our results provide a stochastic description of repeated covariant quantum measurements on representation space.

This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.
