| contents | Projective measurements are a key element in quantum physics and enable rich phenomena in monitored quantum dynamics. Here, we show that the measurement outcomes, recorded during monitored dynamics, can provide crucial information about the properties of the monitored dynamical system itself. We demonstrate this for a Floquet model of many-body localization, where we find that the prethermal many-body localized regime becomes unstable against rare measurements, yielding an unusual enhancement of quantum entanglement. Through an unsupervised learning and mutual information analysis on the classical dataset of measurement outcomes, we find that the information loss in the system, reflected by the increased entanglement, is compensated by an emergent structure in this classical dataset. Our findings highlight the crucial role of measurements and corresponding classical outcomes in capturing prethermal nonergodicity, offering a promising perspective for applications to other monitored quantum dynamics. |
