Macroscopic fluctuation theory of stochastic systems undergoing monitoring

Abstract

We develop a macroscopic fluctuation theory for diffusive classical lattice gases subject to continuous coarse-grained monitoring. Treating measurements in the typical-outcome (quenched) regime, we show that observation adds a quadratic confining term to the MFT action that pins the density to its hydrodynamic profile. We derive sufficient conditions under which, in the presence of monitoring, the current large-deviation function remains convex, the additivity principle holds, and dynamical phase transitions are excluded. For particle-hole-symmetric one-dimensional models we find that monitoring suppresses dynamical phase transitions and can change their order from second to first, as we demonstrate in the Katz--Lebowitz--Spohn model. In the strong-measurement limit, we find that the current distribution becomes Gaussian and determine the scaling of its cumulants: they follow simple power laws when the mobility remains nonzero throughout the system, but exhibit anomalous logarithmic scaling when the mobility vanishes at the boundaries.

Probing fluctuating hydrodynamics through current fluctuations in hard rod gas

We study the full counting statistics of the integrated current in a one-dimensional hard-rod gas in equilibrium, employing two recently proposed fluctuating hydrodynamic frameworks: (i) Ballistic Macroscopic Fluctuation Theory (BMFT) and (ii) diffusive fluctuating hydrodynamic theory based on correlated Brownian motio...

Large spin large deviations for interacting particle systems

We propose a novel framework for analyzing the sample-path large deviations of interacting particle systems directly on a lattice by considering a large-spin limit ($s \to \infty$). Through an appropriate scaling of variables, the process concentrates around its deterministic trajectory, governed by the lattice diffusi...

Hydrodynamic and Stochastic Limits of Space-Time Hawkes Processes

We study the large-scale behavior of critical and nearly critical space-time Hawkes processes initialized by a prescribed Poisson field of past events. The density of this initial field separates three macroscopic regimes. In the high-density regime, fluctuations average out and the event measure converges to a hydrody...

Typicality of entanglement growth and transport fluctuations in quantum symmetric exclusion processes

We use macroscopic fluctuation theory (MFT) to establish the typicality of charge-transfer statistics and entanglement dynamics in the quantum symmetric exclusion process, a model of stochastically hopping free fermions with diffusive transport and long-range quantum coherence. We show that the leading long-time charge...

Langevin Dynamics of Non-reciprocally Coupled Spherical Spin Glasses

We analyze the limiting dynamics of two copies of a disordered mean-field spherical $p$-spin system coupled non-reciprocally to one another and initialized independently of the disorder. We prove that, on every finite time interval, as the system size tends to infinity, the empirical correlation and integrated response...

Coherence Spreading Law in Quenched Homogeneous Bose Gases

We investigate nonequilibrium coherence spreading in quenched homogeneous bosonic gases both analytically and numerically. Our ensemble-averaged Gross-Pitaevskii trajectory approach and kinetic analysis confirm the linear-in-time growth of the squared coherence length, and explicitly give the spreading-law dependence o...
