We study an exactly solvable model of monitored dynamics in a system of $N$ spin-$1/2$ particles with pairwise all-to-all noisy interactions, where each spin is continuously weakly measured along a random direction. Using the replica trick to incorporate the Born-rule weighting of measurement outcomes, we obtain an exact large-$N$ description of purification and of the statistics of local observables. We find that the nature of the phase transition strongly depends on the number $n$ of replicas: non-perturbative logarithmic corrections appear in the physically relevant $n\to1$ limit and destroy the purifying phase present at finite integer $n$. As a consequence, the purification time of an initially mixed state is always exponentially long in the system size, even at arbitrarily large measurement rate.

  1. Universal purification dynamics of monitored Clifford circuits

    quant-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 7.5

    Purification of weakly monitored Clifford circuits on prime-dimensional qudits reduces exactly to a pure-death Markov process on the density-matrix rank, producing compact universal scaling functions for all Rényi entropies.
