摘要
In recent years, measurement induced entanglement transitions (MIETs) have attracted significant attention. However, the dynamical transition associated with the feedback induced skin effect, which exhibits a wealth of intriguing phenomena, has not been fully understood. In this work, we investigate a dynamical phase transition in a tilted free-fermion chain under measurement-feedback protocols, emphasizing the particle density and entanglement entropy dynamics. We reveal a feedback induced skin effect, enhanced by the Wannier-Stark ladder potential, that creates localization at one boundary and generates an effective pseudoedge under periodic conditions. The observables show a two-stage evolution: a rapid initial logarithmic growth followed by decay into an area-law steady state. Using a rescaling analysis, we pinpoint the critical behavior and offer an intuitive physical picture that links it to the feedback-driven suppression of quantum jump fluctuations. The resulting entanglement dynamics appear to be governed by a system-size-dependent delay, followed by a size-independent relaxation process. This behavior is consistent with the ballistic propagation of free fermions toward a domain-wall-like steady state and does not exhibit any signatures of nontrivial criticality. This work provides an effective supplement to the dynamical transition. It provides valuable references for linking the dynamical understanding of the role feedback plays in MIETs.
