Quantum many-body scars provide a controlled form of weak ergodicity breaking, in which structured nonthermal eigenstates coexist with a thermalizing many-body spectrum. We introduce a qubit-level route to exact scars based on the intrinsic…

We introduce the concept of ergodicity and explore its deviation caused by quantum scars in an isolated quantum system, employing a pedagogical approach based on a toy model. Quantum scars, originally identified as traces of classically…

While the chiral linear Luttinger liquid is integrable via bosonization, its non-linear counterpart does not admit for an analytic solution. In this work, we find a sub-extensive number of exact eigenstates for a large family of…

We study weak ergodicity breaking in a one-dimensional, nonintegrable spin-1 XY model. We construct for it an exact, highly excited eigenstate, which despite its large energy density, can be represented analytically by a finite…

We extend the semiclassical theory of scarring of quantum eigenfunctions psi_{n}(q) by classical periodic orbits to include situations where these orbits undergo generic bifurcations. It is shown that |psi_{n}(q)|^{2}, averaged locally with…
