Researchers Vaibhav Sharma and Erich J Mueller discovered fractal patterns in multipartite entanglement within monitored quantum circuits, revealing self-similar structures in entangled qubit clusters. The study examines a 1D random circuit with Clifford unitaries and probabilistic single-site measurements, identifying a measurement-induced phase transition at critical probability pc, separating volume-law and area-law entanglement scaling regimes. Entanglement depth—the largest entangled qubit cluster—scales as a power law with system size, with exponent 1 in the volume-law phase (p < pc) and approaching 0 in the area-law phase (p → 1). The largest entangled cluster exhibits fractal dimension between 0 and 1, matching the power-law exponent away from criticality, suggesting deep geometric structure in entanglement distribution. This work bridges quantum information theory and statistical mechanics, offering insights into entanglement dynamics in noisy, monitored quantum systems.

This circuit has a measurement-induced phase transition at $p=p_c$, separating a phase in which the entanglement entropy scales with the system size (a volume law state) and one in which it scales with the boundary (an area law state). We calculate the entanglement depth, corresponding to the size of the largest cluster of entangled qubits, finding that it scales as a power law with system size in both the phases. The power law exponent is 1 in the volume law phase ($p new | recent | 2025-11 Change to browse by: cond-mat cond-mat.dis-nn cond-mat.stat-mech References & Citations INSPIRE HEP NASA ADSGoogle Scholar Semantic Scholar export BibTeX citation Loading...
