The damage spreading transition: a hierarchy of renormalization group fixed points
Adam Nahum, Sthitadhi Roy
Deterministic classical cellular automata can be in two phases, depending on how irreversible the dynamical rules are. In the strongly irreversible phase, trajectories with differe…
Continuum mechanics of entanglement in noisy interacting fermion chains
Tobias Swann, Adam Nahum
We develop an effective continuum description for information scrambling in a chain of randomly interacting Majorana fermions. The approach is based on the semiclassical treatment…
Continuous symmetry breaking in 1D spin chains and 1+1D field theory
Adam Nahum
We argue that ground states of 1D spin chains can spontaneously break U(1) ``easy-plane'' spin rotation symmetry, via true long-range order of , at the phase transition…
Renormalization group for measurement and entanglement phase transitions
Adam Nahum, Kay Joerg Wiese
We analyze the renormalization-group (RG) flows of two effective Lagrangians, one for measurement induced transitions of monitored quantum systems and one for entanglement transiti…
Spacetime picture for entanglement generation in noisy fermion chains
Tobias Swann, Denis Bernard, Adam Nahum
Studies of random unitary circuits have shown that the calculation of Renyi entropies of entanglement can be mapped to classical statistical mechanics problems in spacetime. In thi…
Nonlinear sigma models for monitored dynamics of free fermions
Michele Fava, Lorenzo Piroli, Tobias Swann +2
We derive field theory descriptions for measurement-induced phase transitions in free fermion systems. We focus on a multi-flavor Majorana chain, undergoing Hamiltonian evolution w…
