Description
We can only obtain information from a system by means of measurements. However, they always leave a fingerprint behind as the system is left in a state that depends on the measurement outcome. Continuously monitored systems, such as quantum circuits and the closed fermionic chain, are known to exhibit very interesting critical phenomena in their entanglement content when we vary the measurements' strength. The latter is a good toy model for a quantum transport setup if we consider it coupled to two reservoirs. A generalization of the known results to the open case will be pursued in this thesis. As electronic systems are usually probed by transport measurements, it is natural to wonder which features of the entanglement phase transition can be detected from the outcome of such measurements. Thus, the answer to this question stands as the ultimate objective of my thesis.
