• Abstract: Directional amplification, in which signals are amplified selectively depending on their propagation direction, is a key resource for quantum information processing and stands in one-to-one correspondence with non-trivial non-Hermitian topology. So far, this correspondence has concerned the mean fields, and thus classical response. Here we turn to the quantum fluctuations, giving access to correlations and entanglement. For phase-preserving amplifiers, we derive analytic expressions for the normal and anomalous correlations, showing that non-trivial topology produces correlations that grow exponentially with the distance between modes and approach the largest values compatible with the uncertainty relations. The associated correlation length diverges at the topological phase transition. Entanglement nonetheless remains local, set by the competition between normalised anomalous correlations and the asymmetry of the mode occupations. For the bosonic Kitaev chain, a phase-sensitive amplifier, the system instead splits into two halves that are internally fully correlated yet mutually uncorrelated. Our work prepares the ground for exploring the quantum properties of non-Hermitian topological systems with state-of-the-art platforms such as cavity optomechanics and superconducting circuits.

  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.
