Quantum coherence quantifies the amount of superposition a quantum state can have in a given basis. Since there is a difference in the structure of eigenstates of the ergodic and many-body localized systems, we expect them also to differ in…
Symmetry plays a fundamental role in understanding complex quantum matter, particularly in classifying topological quantum phases, which have attracted great interests in the recent decade. An outstanding example is the time-reversal…
In most quantum sensing schemes, interactions between the constituent particles of the sensor are expected to lead to thermalisation and degraded sensitivity. However, recent theoretical and experimental work has shown that the phenomenon…
We study a kinetically constrained pair hopping model that arises within a Landau level in the quantum Hall effect. At filling $\nu = 1/3$, the model exactly maps onto the so-called "PXP model", a constrained model for the Rydberg atom…
The dual role played by symmetry in many-body physics manifests itself through two fundamental mechanisms: spontaneous symmetry breaking and topological symmetry protection. These two concepts, ubiquitous in both condensed matter and high…
The far-from-equilibrium dynamics of certain interacting quantum systems still defy precise understanding. One example is the so-called quantum many-body scars (QMBSs), where a set of energy eigenstates evade thermalization to give rise to…

The symmetric collective states of an atomic spin ensemble (i.e., many-body states that are invariant under particle exchange) are not preserved by decoherence that acts identically but individually on members of the ensemble. We develop a…
