Abstract
Charge-learnability transitions in monitored symmetric quantum circuits reveal how local measurement records acquire sufficient information to infer a conserved charge. Here we extend charge learnability to probabilistic weak measurements, for which the measurement probability and measurement strength are independently tunable. We find that the learnability phase boundary is organized by the informational power of local measurement. We further introduce cross entropy as a label-sensitive diagnostic that distinguishes unbiased, biased, and antibiased decoder variants. Finally, the exact record-label mutual information provides a decoder-independent benchmark for the information fundamentally available for charge inference. Our results establish informational power of local measurement as a unifying principle for charge learnability under general monitoring protocols.
