• Abstract: Continuous weak measurements of quantum systems are of great relevance in quantum foundations and applications. They can be achieved by probing the quantum system of interest by repeatedly measuring an auxiliary system weakly coupled to it. Here we study two qubits coupled in different points to a common one-dimensional electromagnetic field and simultaneously monitored in the right- and left-propagating output channels by homodyne detection. Using a collision-model description, we derive an analytical Stochastic Master Equation (SME) governing the resulting diffusive quantum trajectories, including the interference between the two measurement channels. For nonlinear functions of the quantum state, such as entropies, averages over quantum trajectories generally differ from the corresponding quantities evaluated on the unconditional state. Through this mechanism, we show that continuous monitoring generates entanglement, absent in the unconditional dynamics, and enhances quantum magic in the qubit pair during the decay. Both resources can be tuned through the optical phase accumulated between the qubits and the phases of homodyne local oscillators. Our results establish continuous homodyne monitoring of multiple emitters as a tunable mechanism for generating quantum resources.

  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
