Measurement phase transitions and universality — •Adam Nahum — ENS Paris & CNRS

Repeated measurement can lead to a phase transition in quantum many-body dynamics. A subcritical rate of measurement allows complex, entangled states to evolve, while a supercritical measurement rate kills long-range entanglement. These phase transitions allow formal analogies with standard ordering transitions, but they are fundamentally different, partly as a result of the role played by quantum mechanical measurement randomness. Obtaining exact results for generic versions of the problem is challenging. I will sketch limits in which progress can be made (for example mean-field-like models, models in high dimensions, and noninteracting analogs).
