Measurement-Only Dynamical Phase Transitions in Spin-1 Chains
We study measurement-only dynamics in an interacting spin-1 chain, using forced, normalized local projections rather than Born-rule-sampled measurement outcomes. Starting from the nearest-neighbor (NN) Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) Haldane symmetry-protected topological state, we show that competing local projecto...
