Nonlinear Sigma Models for Monitored Dynamics of Free Fermions
We derive field theory descriptions for measurement-induced phase transitions in free fermion systems. We focus on a multiflavor Majorana chain, undergoing Hamiltonian evolution with continuous monitoring of local fermion parity operators. Using the replica trick, we map the dynamics to the imaginar...
