We show that Hubbard models with nearest-neighbor hopping and a nearest-neighbor hardcore constraint exhibit `maximal' Hilbert space fragmentation in many lattices of arbitrary dimension $d$. Focusing on the $d=1$ rhombus chain and the…
Fractonic superfluids are exotic phases of matter in which bosons are subject to mobility constraints, resulting in features beyond those of conventional superfluids. These exotic phases arise from the spontaneous breaking of higher-rank…

The question of whether interactions can break dynamical localization in quantum kicked rotor systems has been the subject of a long--standing debate. Here, we introduce an extended mapping from the kicked Lieb--Liniger model to a…
The phenomenon of Hilbert space fragmentation, whereby dynamical constraints fragment Hilbert space into many disconnected sectors, provides a simple mechanism by which thermalization can be arrested. However, little is known about how…
Motivated by previous works on a Floquet version of the PXP model [Mukherjee {\it et al.} Phys. Rev. B 102, 075123 (2020), Mukherjee {\it et al.} Phys. Rev. B 101, 245107 (2020)], we study a one-dimensional spin-$1/2$ lattice model with…
We study the late time relaxation dynamics of a pure $U(1)$ lattice gauge theory in the form of a dimer model on a bilayer geometry. To this end, we first develop a proper notion of hydrodynamic transport in such a system by constructing a…
We study Hilbert space fragmentation in the extended Fermi-Hubbard model with nearest and next-nearest-neighbor interactions. Using a generalized spin/mover picture and saddle point methods, we derive lower bounds for the scaling of the…
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 subspaces. Whereas most previous works emphasize dipole moment…
We discuss the effects of exponential fragmentation of the Hilbert space on phase transitions in the context of coupled ferromagnetic Ising models in arbitrary dimension with special emphasis on the one dimensional case. We show that the…
Discontinuous changes in the electronic structure upon infinitesimal changes to the Hamiltonian are demonstrated. Remarkably, these are revealed in one and two electron molecular systems if the realm of the nuclear charge is extended to be…
