Abstract
Modern quantum experiments can probe many-body wavefunctions through projective measurements, providing snapshots of individual many-body configurations. A fundamental question is whether the intrinsic structure of their measurement distributions can reveal quantum dynamics beyond predefined observables. Here, we address this question at the many-body ergodicity-breaking transition using two complementary characteristics of nonequilibrium wavefunction snapshots: their binary intrinsic dimension (BID) and the topology of wavefunction networks constructed from Hamming distances. We show that the critical point is characterized by an extensive but submaximal BID, and scale-free network connectivity with highly connected hubs. These signatures distinguish the ergodic, critical, and nonergodic regimes, and provide experimentally accessible probes of ergodicity breaking from projective measurement snapshots.
