Quantum many-body systems out of equilibrium represent a challenging frontier and have been shown to exhibit extremely rich phenomena. Recent experimental advances in building Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices have opened up a completely new territory in this context. The natural evolution implemented by NISQ devices is a quantum interactive dynamics generated by a combination of unitary gates and measurements. These platforms provide an opportunity to explore vastly larger parts of the Hilbert space and go beyond what can be realized in purely unitary systems. In pioneering works, an entanglement phase transition was identified in the dynamics of circuits of random unitary gates interleaved with local projective measurements. This phase transition separates a disentangling phase, obeying an area law, and an entangling phase obeying a volume law. Successively, it has been shown that additional phase transitions between different area phases can occur and new kinds of quantum phase transitions have been discovered. This session aims to give an overview of recent theoretical and experimental developments within this very active field and point towards the open questions.
