Quantum many-body scars enable persistent non-ergodic dynamics in otherwise thermalizing systems, yet their stabilization typically relies on fine-tuned initial states or engineered Hamiltonian perturbations. Here we show that lattice…

We identify quantum many-body scars in the transverse field quantum Ising model on a ladder. We make explicit how the corresponding (mid spectrum, low entanglement) many-body eigenstates can be approximated by injecting quasi-particle…

We discover a variety of exact quantum many-body scars in higher-spin kinetically constrained models, through the recently developed DMRG-S algorithm [Zhang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 020402]. Specifically, for the higher-spin PXP model…
