Catastrophic forgetting in continual learning is a common destructive phenomenon in gradient-based neural networks that learn sequential tasks, and it is much different from forgetting in humans, who can learn and accumulate knowledge…

One of the features of many-body quantum systems with Hilbert-space fragmentation is the existence of stationary states manifesting quantum jamming. It was recently shown that these are "states with memory", in which, e.g., measuring a…
