Measurement-induced entanglement and control transitions using feedbackIn recent years, substantial progress has been achieved in understanding entanglement transitions in monitored quantum systems. In this talk, I will summarize some key facts we’ve learned and how they can be used in quantum control protocols. Drawing parallels with classically chaotic systems, we identify features that link and delink ...
