Abstract

We develop solvable models of large-NN hybrid quantum circuits on qubits and fermions with long-range power-law interactions and continuous local monitoring, which provide analytical access to the entanglement phase diagram and error-correcting properties of many-body entangled non-equilibrium states generated by such dynamics. In one dimension, the long-range coupling is irrelevant for α>3/2\alpha>3/2, where α\alpha is the power-law exponent, and the models exhibit a conventional measurement-induced phase transition between volume- and area-law entangled phases. For 1/2<α<3/21/2<\alpha<3/2 the long-range coupling becomes relevant, leading to a nontrivial dynamical exponent at the measurement-induced phase transition. More interestingly, for α<1\alpha<1 the entanglement pattern receives a sub-volume correction for both area-law and volume-law phases, indicating that the phase realizes a quantum error correcting code whose code distance scales as L22αL^{2-2\alpha}. While the entanglement phase diagram is the same for both the interacting qubit and fermionic hybrid Brownian circuits, we find that long-range free-fermionic circuits exhibit a distinct phase diagram with two different fractal entangled phases.
