Charge-monitored Luttinger liquid
Abstract
We discuss phases of interacting fermionic Luttinger liquids without particle number conservation, such as those in proximity to a superconductor, subjected to weak continuous measurements of their particle density, in the regime where the bosonization approach is applicable. We show that the phases of these systems are controlled by the competition between measurements, which favor the area-law phase and particle tunneling in and out of the Luttinger liquid, which favors the volume-law phase. The volume-law phase in this system is always charge fuzzy. We show that within this framework, the phase boundary between the two phases is given by a universal dependence of the Luttinger parameter on the measurement rate. This behavior can be contrasted with the non-universal phase boundaries in more generic highly excited one dimensional systems whose behavior is no longer captured by the Luttinger liquid framework.
