The intensely studied measurement-induced
entanglement phase transition has become a hallmark of
non-unitary quantum many-body dynamics. Usually, such a
transition only shows up at the level of each individual quantum
trajectory, and is absent for the density matrix averaged over
measurement outcomes. In this talk, we introduce a class of
adaptive random circuit models with feedback that exhibit
transitions in both settings. After each measurement, a unitary
operation is either applied or not depending on the measurement
outcome, which steers the averaged density matrix towards a unique
state above a certain measurement threshold. Interestingly, the
transition for the density matrix and the entanglement transition in
the individual quantum trajectory in general happen at different
critical measurement rates. We demonstrate that the former
transition belongs to the parity-conserving universality class by an
explicit mapping to a classical branching-annihilating random walk process. |
