Abstract
We explore the dynamical phases of unitary Clifford circuits with variable-range interactions, coupled to a monitoring environment. We investigate two classes of models, distinguished by the action of the unitary gates, which either are organized in clusters of finite-range two-body gates, or are pair-wise interactions randomly distributed throughout the system with a power-law distribution. We find the range of the interactions plays a key role in characterizing both phases and their measurement-induced transitions. For the cluster unitary gates we find a transition between a phase with volume-law scaling of the entanglement entropy and a phase with area-law entanglement entropy. Our results indicate that the universality class of the phase transition is compatible to that of short range hybrid Clifford circuits. Oppositely, in the case of power-law distributed gates, we find the universality class of the phase transition changes continuously with the parameter controlling the range of interactions. In particular, for intermediate values of the control parameter, we find a non-conformal critical line which separates a phase with volume-law scaling of the entanglement entropy from one with sub-extensive scaling. Within this region, we find the entanglement entropy and the logarithmic negativity present a cross-over from a phase with algebraic growth of entanglement with system size, and an area-law phase.
Author comments upon resubmission
We thank the Referees for their careful reading of our manuscript and for their constructive comments and criticisms.
We have embodied these discussions in the new version of the manuscript, which we now hope is suitable for publication in Scipost Physics Core.
List of changes
In response of the Referee reports, we have implemented the following changes:
- Corrected typos;
- Added Ref [90] in bibliography;
- Changes in Sec. 2 clarifying the models and the difference with Hamiltonian setups;
- Updated caption of Fig 1;
- Replaced linear scale with logarithmic scale in the x-axis of Fig 8;

Report
The paper provides thorough numerical study of long range Clifford dynamics under measurement. While I partly agree that a stronger statement could be made in conjunction with analytics, I also believe that this is a highly non-trivial endeavor and well beyond the scope and intention of this article.

Report #1 by Anonymous (Referee 3) on 2022-1-20 (Invited Report)

Strengths
1- The topic is very relevant and the numerical investigation of the two-different long-range circuit models is comprehensive to a set of other recently appeared long-range models. 2- The paper is very accessible and provides a short and crisp summary of the obtained results. I find it particularly well written. 3- The summary of the entanglement-based observables and the numerical procedure are very precise and helpful.
Weaknesses
1- After the revision by the authors, the paper still has a strong focus on the numerical results and less on providing a physical picture of the underlying dynamics.
Report
However, there are plenty of new and interesting results on the topic of measurement-induced phase transitions presented in the manuscript. It is well written and very accessible and I believe it is a good paper that should be published in SciPost Physics Core.
