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 …
