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 …

Colloquium: Quantum and classical discrete time crystals

MP Zaletel, M Lukin, C Monroe, C Nayak, F Wilczek… - Reviews of Modern …, 2023 - APS
The spontaneous breaking of time-translation symmetry has led to the discovery of a new
phase of matter: the discrete time crystal. Discrete time crystals exhibit rigid subharmonic …

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 …

Quantum many-body scars: A quasiparticle perspective

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 …

Observation of a continuous time crystal

P Kongkhambut, J Skulte, L Mathey, JG Cosme… - Science, 2022 - science.org
Time crystals are classified as discrete or continuous depending on whether they
spontaneously break discrete or continuous time translation symmetry. Although discrete …

Engineered dissipation for quantum information science

PM Harrington, EJ Mueller, KW Murch - Nature Reviews Physics, 2022 - nature.com
Quantum information processing relies on the precise control of non-classical states in the
presence of many uncontrolled environmental degrees of freedom. The interactions …

Observation of a dissipative time crystal

H Keßler, P Kongkhambut, C Georges, L Mathey… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We present the first experimental realization of a time crystal stabilized by dissipation. The
central signature in our implementation in a driven open atom-cavity system is a period …

Nonequilibrium boundary-driven quantum systems: Models, methods, and properties

GT Landi, D Poletti, G Schaller - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2022 - APS
Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

Dynamical phase transitions in the collisionless pre-thermal states of isolated quantum systems: theory and experiments

J Marino, M Eckstein, MS Foster… - Reports on Progress in …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We overview the concept of dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) in isolated quantum
systems quenched out of equilibrium. We focus on non-equilibrium transitions characterized …

-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 …
