• Abstract: Mid-circuit measurements provide direct access to trajectory-level observables, revealing dynamical structures in many-body systems that are invisible in ensemble-averaged quantities. We exploit this capability to realize and study an instance of the Floquet-East model on a superconducting quantum processor. Here, the combination of mid-circuit measurements, kinetically constrained unitary operations and hardware noise gives rise to intricate many-body phenomena. Analyzing trajectories obtained from temporally and spatially resolved mid-circuit measurements, we identify dynamical heterogeneity --- a hallmark of glassy dynamics. We quantify this emergent behavior by studying the probability of finding inactive space-time regions of a given size. This quantity displays a crossover from an area- to perimeter-dominated scaling, which is a characteristic property of glasses and is associated with the proximity to a dynamical first-order phase transition. Our results establish current noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices as scalable testbeds for investigating correlated many-body phenomena at the level of measurement trajectories.
