Quantum systems subject to random unitary evolution and measurements at random points in spacetime exhibit entanglement phase transitions which depend on the frequency of these measurements. Past work has experimentally observed entanglement phase transitions on near-term quantum computers, but the characterization approach using entanglement entropy is not scalable due to exponential overhead of quantum state tomography and postselection. Recently, an alternative protocol to detect entanglement phase transitions using linear cross entropy was proposed, attempting to eliminate both bottlenecks. Here, we report demonstrations of this protocol in systems with one-dimensional and all-to-all connectivities on IBM's quantum hardware on up to 22 qubits, a regime which is presently inaccessible if postselection is required. We demonstrate data collapses onto scaling functions with critical exponents in semiquantitative agreement with theory. Our demonstration of the cross entropy benchmark (XEB) protocol paves the way for studies of measurement-induced entanglement phase transitions and associated critical phenomena on larger near-term quantum systems.

  2. Diagnosing chaos with projected ensembles of process tensors

    quant-ph 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Higher moments of the projected process ensemble reveal entanglement structures that distinguish chaotic from integrable dynamics more sharply than quantum dynamical or spatiotemporal entropies.

  3. Disappearance of measurement-induced phase transition in a quantum spin system for large sizes

    quant-ph 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In this global-measurement Ising protocol the apparent measurement-induced transition at finite τ_c for L≈26-28 recedes to τ_c=0 in the large-L limit with scaling τ_c∼1/√L.

  4. Multipartite entanglement structure of monitored quantum circuits

    quant-ph 2024-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Monitored random quantum circuits lack divergent multipartite entanglement at criticality unlike standard critical systems, but two-site measurements with a protection mechanism enable genuinely multipartite entangled phases.
