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 …

Fracton phases of matter

M Pretko, X Chen, Y You - International Journal of Modern Physics …, 2020 - World Scientific
Fractons are a new type of quasiparticle which are immobile in isolation, but can often move
by forming bound states. Fractons are found in a variety of physical settings, such as spin …

Finite-temperature transport in one-dimensional quantum lattice models

Exploring the regime of fragmentation in strongly tilted Fermi-Hubbard chains

T Kohlert, S Scherg, P Sala, F Pollmann… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Intriguingly, quantum many-body systems may defy thermalization even without disorder.
One example is so-called fragmented models, where the many-body Hilbert space …

Observing non-ergodicity due to kinetic constraints in tilted Fermi-Hubbard chains

S Scherg, T Kohlert, P Sala, F Pollmann… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
The thermalization of isolated quantum many-body systems is deeply related to fundamental
questions of quantum information theory. While integrable or many-body localized systems …

Spin transport in a tunable Heisenberg model realized with ultracold atoms

PN Jepsen, J Amato-Grill, I Dimitrova, WW Ho… - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
Simple models of interacting spins have an important role in physics. They capture the
properties of many magnetic materials, but also extend to other systems, such as bosons …

Localization from Hilbert space shattering: From theory to physical realizations

V Khemani, M Hermele, R Nandkishore - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We show how a finite number of conservation laws can globally “shatter” Hilbert space into
exponentially many dynamically disconnected subsectors, leading to an unexpected …

Fracton hydrodynamics

A Gromov, A Lucas, RM Nandkishore - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
We introduce new classes of hydrodynamic theories inspired by the recently discovered
