Continuous monitoring of a quantum many-body system — •Thomas Kiendl1, Vinay Ramasesh2, Shay Hacohen-Gourgy2, Irfan Siddiqi2, and Florian Marquardt11Institut for Theoretical Physics, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Staudtstraße 7, D-91058 Erlangen, Germany — 2QNL, University of California, Berkeley

At the heart of quantum mechanics lies the fact that a measurement causes back-action on the system itself. A prominent example is the quantum Zeno effect. Observing a system continuously with a large measurement strength freezes the system’s dynamics. We explore how such phenomena transfer to a quantum many-body system, employing a chain of qubits as an experimentally relevant example. Using the concept of weak, continuous measurements we investigate new timescales caused by continuous monitoring of the chain. In this context, we present new results on relaxation dynamics and thermalization for both integrable and non-integrable Hamiltonians.
