• Abstract: We study the short-time Loschmidt dynamics after a small sudden quench near a quantum critical point. We show that the initial quadratic growth of the Loschmidt rate function is governed by the variance of the quench operator per system size. For a local quench operator, this variance density is exactly equal to the spatial sum of the equal-time connected two-point correlation function in the initial ground state. This relation connects the early-time Loschmidt response to static critical correlations. Assuming power-law correlations at criticality, we classify the finite-size scaling of the short-time coefficient by the scaling dimension of the quench operator. In one dimension, the coefficient is finite, logarithmically enhanced, or algebraically enhanced with system size. We illustrate this operator dependence in the transverse-field Ising chain, where transverse-field and longitudinal-field quenches couple to different critical operators. We also discuss the first correction beyond the quadratic regime using the fourth cumulant of the post-quench Hamiltonian.

  The interplay between information-scrambling Hamiltonians and local continuous measurements hosts platforms for exotic measurement-induced phase transition. We identify a non-monotonic dependence on the local noise strength in both the averaged entanglement and operator correlations. The analysis of scaling with the system size in a finite length chain indicates that, at finite efficiency, this effect leads to distinct MiPTs for operator correlations and entanglement.
