Theory of robust quantum many-body scars in long-range interacting systems

A Lerose, T Parolini, R Fazio, DA Abanin, S Pappalardi - Physical Review X, 2025 - APS
Quantum many-body scars (QMBS) are exceptional energy eigenstates of quantum many-
body systems associated with violations of thermalization for special nonequilibrium initial …

Entanglement entropy of ()-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory on plaquette chains

L Ebner, A Schäfer, C Seidl, B Müller, X Yao - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We study the entanglement entropy of Hamiltonian SU (2) lattice gauge theory in 2+ 1

Classical route to ergodicity and scarring in collective quantum systems

S Sinha, S Ray, S Sinha - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Ergodicity, a fundamental concept in statistical mechanics, is not yet a fully understood
phenomena for closed quantum systems, particularly its connection with the underlying …

Quantum many-body scars from unstable periodic orbits

B Evrard, A Pizzi, SI Mistakidis, CB Dag - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) play a key role in the theory of chaos, constituting the
“skeleton” of classical chaotic systems and “scarring” the eigenstates of the corresponding …

Robust effective ground state in a nonintegrable Floquet quantum circuit

TN Ikeda, S Sugiura, A Polkovnikov - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
An external periodic (Floquet) drive is believed to bring any initial state to the featureless
infinite temperature state in generic nonintegrable isolated quantum many-body systems in …

Mixed eigenstates in the Dicke model: Statistics and power-law decay of the relative proportion in the semiclassical limit

Q Wang, M Robnik - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
How the mixed eigenstates vary when approaching the semiclassical limit in mixed-type
many-body quantum systems is an interesting but still less known question. Here, we …

Uncovering quantum many-body scars with quantum machine learning

J Feng, B Zhang, ZC Yang, Q Zhuang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2409.07405, 2024 - arxiv.org
Quantum many-body scars are rare eigenstates hidden within the chaotic spectra of many-

generic chaotic many-body systems and explore a possible connection between these …

Semiclassical origin of suppressed quantum chaos in Rydberg chains

M Müller, R Mushkaev - arxiv preprint arxiv:2410.17223, 2024 - arxiv.org
The surprisingly long-lasting oscillations observed in the dynamics of highly excited states of
chains of Rydberg atoms defy the expectation that interacting systems should thermalize …
