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 …

Long-range interacting quantum systems

N Defenu, T Donner, T Macrì, G Pagano, S Ruffo… - Reviews of Modern …, 2023 - APS
In this review recent investigations are summarized of many-body quantum systems with

Hilbert space fragmentation and commutant algebras

S Moudgalya, OI Motrunich - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
We study the phenomenon of Hilbert space fragmentation in isolated Hamiltonian and
Floquet quantum systems using the language of commutant algebras, the algebra of all …

Dynamical obstruction to localization in a disordered spin chain

D Sels, A Polkovnikov - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
We analyze a one-dimensional XXZ spin chain in a disordered magnetic field. As the main
probes of the system's behavior, we use the sensitivity of eigenstates to adiabatic …

Distinguishing localization from chaos: Challenges in finite-size systems

DA Abanin, JH Bardarson, G De Tomasi… - Annals of Physics, 2021 - Elsevier
We re-examine attempts to study the many-body localization transition using measures that
are physically natural on the ergodic/quantum chaotic regime of the phase diagram. Using …

Hilbert-space fragmentation from strict confinement

ZC Yang, F Liu, AV Gorshkov, T Iadecola - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
We study one-dimensional spin-1/2 models in which strict confinement of Ising domain walls
leads to the fragmentation of Hilbert space into exponentially many disconnected …

Realization of an extremely anisotropic Heisenberg magnet in Rydberg atom arrays

K Kim, F Yang, K Mølmer, J Ahn - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
Strong mutual interaction which correlates elementary excitations of quantum matter plays a
key role in a range of emergent phenomena, from binding and condensation to quantum …

The concept of quantum many-body scars has recently been put forward as a route to
describe weak ergodicity breaking and violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis …

Rare thermal bubbles at the many-body localization transition from the Fock space point of view

G De Tomasi, IM Khaymovich, F Pollmann, S Warzel - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
In this paper we study the many-body localization (MBL) transition and relate it to the
eigenstate structure in the Fock space. Besides the standard entanglement and multifractal …
