We consider a generic time-reversal invariant model of fermions hopping randomly on a square lattice. By means of the conventional replica-trick within the fermionic path-integral formalism, the model is mapped onto a non-linear sigma-model…

A theory of the measurement-induced entanglement phase transition for free-fermion models in $d>1$ dimensions is developed. The critical point separates a gapless phase with $\ell^{d-1} \ln \ell$ scaling of the second cumulant of the…
The random flux model (defined here as a model of lattice fermions hopping under the influence of maximally random link disorder) is analysed field theoretically. It is shown that the long range physics of the model is described by the…
We explore a model of free fermions in one dimension, subject to frustrated (non-commuting) local measurements across adjacent sites, which resolves the fermions into non-orthogonal orbitals, misaligned from the underlying lattice. For…
Studies of random unitary circuits have shown that the calculation of Renyi entropies of entanglement can be mapped to classical statistical mechanics problems in spacetime. In this paper, we develop an analogous spacetime picture of…

We show that entanglement entropy of free fermions scales faster then area law, as opposed to the scaling $L^{d-1}$ for the harmonic lattice, for example. We also suggest and provide evidence in support of an explicit formula for the…
