요약In recent years, concepts and techniques derived from classical and quantum statistical physics have proven invaluable in addressing key problems in the storage, protection, and manipulation of quantum information in near-term devices. A key challenge in this pursuit is the unavoidable presence of an external environment, which can lead to the loss of information encoded within the system. Although these open-system processes are typically detrimental to performing nontrivial quantum computations, they also serve as an invitation to critically investigate the universal physics of many-body systems exposed to decoherence and measurements. This dissertation investigates several different examples of phase transitions and collective phenomena in the flow of information into or out of a system, which arise from its interaction with an external environment. A unifying theme is the importance of nonlinear information-theoretic observables, which are necessary tools for detecting nontrivial critical phenomena in each example studied. The first part of this dissertation studies the dynamics of quantum information in random unitary circuits which exchange information with an environment. Chapter 3 focuses on the revival of mixed-state entanglement in a one-dimensional monitored random circuit with decoherence at its boundaries. Although the system relaxes to a trivial infinite-temperature state in the absence of monitoring, a nonzero rate of projective measurements performed throughout the system can stabilize an entanglement negativity which scales as a nontrivial power of the system size. From a statistical physics perspective, this power-law scaling of the negativity can be understood as the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang fluctuations of entanglement domain walls due to the random measurement locations. Chapter 4 investigates operator and information spreading in a one-dimensional random circuit which "radiates" qubits into an environment. This circuit exhibits a competition between the scrambling of operators within the system and their leakage into the environment, resulting in a directed percolation phase transition at a critical rate of radiation. From an information-theoretic perspective, this transition is best understood in terms of an observer's ability to reconstruct information initially encoded within the system from the environment's radiated qubits.The second part of this dissertation studies collective phenomena which arise from performing measurements throughout a critical quantum many-body system. Local measurements can exhibit highly nonlocal effects on entangled states, and so it is natural to ask whether a finite density of local measurements performed on a many-body system can collectively alter the long-range structure of a many-body wavefunction. Critical ground states in one spatial dimension offer a natural setting to explore this question, since their long-wavelength description as (1+1)-dimensional conformal field theories affords a high degree of theoretical control. Chapter 6 focuses on weak measurements performed on Luttinger liquids, a paradigmatic family of critical ground states with continuously tunable power-law correlations. In this setting, both postselected and ensemble-averaged weak measurements of the particle density can lead to transitions in the long-distance power-law scaling of density and phase correlations. Chapter 7 specializes to the critical one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model, where a careful correspondence can be established between randomly distributed projective measurements on the lattice and weak measurements in the continuum. This chapter additionally extends the preceding formalism to study the effect of measurements on the scaling of entanglement entropy, and carefully verifies its analytical predictions using exact free-fermion numerics.The third and final part of this dissertation studies two further examples of criticality in mixed states which are diagnosed by rather unconventional observables. Chapter 9 investigates a new class of symmetry-breaking phases and transitions which can only arise in mixed quantum states, recently dubbed strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking (SWSSB). Specifically, this chapter introduces a new diagnostic for SWSSB called the Renyi-1 correlator, which provides a concrete operational definition for SWSSB in a mixed quantum state via conventional symmetry-breaking in its canonical purification. The Renyi-1 correlator additionally exhibits several useful information-theoretic properties, and provides a natural mechanism by which a large class of SWSSB transitions can be efficiently observed in quantum devices. Chapter 10 discusses the classical defect-mediated melting of a two-dimensional solid with strong Ising antiferromagnetic interactions, and the curious role played by "computational" observables in properly determining the model's phase diagram. Computational observables are observables which can only be observed with the assistance of a nontrivial classical computation, and were previously introduced in the study of measurement-induced phenomena and mixed-state phases of matter. Surprisingly, the notion of computational observables and computational phase transitions are shown to play a crucial role in explaining large-scale numerical observations and in the proper theoretical definition of an "antiferromagnetic tetratic" phase.
