A Chandran, T Iadecola, V Khemani… - Annual Review of …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Weakly interacting quasiparticles play a central role in the low-energy description of many
phases of quantum matter. At higher energies, however, quasiparticles cease to be well …

Quantum many-body scars and Hilbert space fragmentation: a review of exact results

S Moudgalya, BA Bernevig… - Reports on Progress in …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The discovery of quantum many-body scars (QMBS) both in Rydberg atom simulators and in
the Affleck–Kennedy–Lieb–Tasaki spin-1 chain model, have shown that a weak violation of …

Quantum many-body scars and weak breaking of ergodicity

M Serbyn, DA Abanin, Z Papić - Nature Physics, 2021 - nature.com
Thermalization is the inevitable fate of many complex quantum systems, whose dynamics
allow them to fully explore the vast configuration space regardless of the initial state—the …

Measurement as a shortcut to long-range entangled quantum matter

TC Lu, LA Lessa, IH Kim, TH Hsieh - PRX Quantum, 2022 - APS
The preparation of long-range entangled states using unitary circuits is limited by Lieb-
Robinson bounds, but circuits with projective measurements and feedback (“adaptive …

Ergodicity breaking arising from Hilbert space fragmentation in dipole-conserving Hamiltonians

P Sala, T Rakovszky, R Verresen, M Knap, F Pollmann - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We show that the combination of charge and dipole conservation—characteristic of fracton
systems—leads to an extensive fragmentation of the Hilbert space, which, in turn, can lead …

Many-body Hilbert space scarring on a superconducting processor

P Zhang, H Dong, Y Gao, L Zhao, J Hao, JY Desaules… - Nature Physics, 2023 - nature.com
Quantum many-body scarring (QMBS) is a recently discovered form of weak ergodicity
breaking in strongly interacting quantum systems, which presents opportunities for mitigating …

-pairing in Hubbard models: From spectrum generating algebras to quantum many-body scars

S Moudgalya, N Regnault, BA Bernevig - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We revisit the η-pairing states in Hubbard models and explore their connections to quantum
many-body scars to discover a universal scars mechanism. η-pairing occurs due to an …

Quantum many-body scar states with emergent kinetic constraints and finite-entanglement revivals

T Iadecola, M Schecter - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We construct a set of exact, highly excited eigenstates for a nonintegrable spin-1/2 model in
one dimension that is relevant to experiments on Rydberg atoms in the antiblockade regime …

Quantum scars from zero modes in an abelian lattice gauge theory on ladders

D Banerjee, A Sen - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We consider the spectrum of a U (1) quantum link model where gauge fields are realized as
S= 1/2 spins and demonstrate a new mechanism for generating quantum many-body scars …

From tunnels to towers: Quantum scars from Lie algebras and -deformed Lie algebras

N O'Dea, F Burnell, A Chandran, V Khemani - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
We present a general symmetry-based framework for obtaining many-body Hamiltonians
with scarred eigenstates that do not obey the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. Our …
