Measurement-induced spatially nonuniform fluctuations of the local particle number and their crossover in a quasiperiodic free-fermion chain

We study continuously monitored dynamics of a quasiperiodic free-fermion chain defined on a Fibonacci lattice. We focus on fluctuations of the local particle number, which exhibit a spatially uniform distribution in the unitary limit. Remarkably, we demonstrate that they exhibit a nonuniform spatial pattern originating from the quasiperiodic long-range order under continuous measurement. Furthermore, employing both physicaland perpendicular-space analyses, we elucidate that measurement-induced crossover emerges in fluctuations due to the interplay between the incommensurate modulation and the continuous measurement. While weak measurement yields a distribution reflecting the long-range spatial structure of the quasiperiodic system, an increase in measurement strength alters the distribution into one dominated by the local environment of each site. We also elucidate that the measurement-induced crossover emerges in other physical quantities such as connected correlation functions. These findings offer insights into nonequilibrium quasiperiodic phenomena emerging in continuously monitored dynamics.
