We present a class of Hamiltonians $H$ for which a sector of the Hilbert space invariant under a Lie group $G$, which is not a symmetry of $H$, possesses the essential properties of many-body scar states. These include the absence of…
We study the stability of the many-body scars in spin-1/2 fermionic systems under the most typical perturbations in relevant materials. We find that some families of scars are completely insensitive to certain perturbations. In some other…
We construct a 1D model Hamiltonian of spinless fermions for which the spinless analogue of $\eta$-pairing states are quantum many-body scars of the model. These states are excited states and display subvolume entanglement entropy scaling;…
Weak ergodicity breaking in interacting quantum systems may occur due to the existence of a subspace dynamically decoupled from the rest of the Hilbert space. In two-orbital spinful lattice systems, we construct such subspaces that are in…
In some quantum many-body systems, the Hilbert space breaks up into a large ergodic sector and a much smaller scar subspace. It has been suggested [arXiv:2007.00845] that the two sectors may be distinguished by their transformation…
In this article, we elucidate the structure and properties of a class of anomalous high-energy states of matter-free $U(1)$ quantum link gauge theory Hamiltonians using numerical and analytical methods. Such anomalous states, known as…
We consider the spectrum of a $U(1)$ quantum link model where gauge fields are realized as $S=1/2$ spins and demonstrate a new mechanism for generating quantum many-body scars (high-energy eigenstates that violate the eigenstate…
We present a systematic framework to construct model Hamiltonians that have unconventional superconducting pairing states as exact energy eigenstates, by incorporating multibody interactions (i.e., interactions among more than two…
We construct many-body scar states in multi-flavour fermionic lattice models that possess strong magnetic or superconducting correlations of a given type specified by a unitary matrix $A$. One of the states maximizes the one-point…
We construct asymptotic quantum many-body scars (AQMBS) in one-dimensional SU($N$) Hubbard chains ($N\geq 3$) by embedding the scar subspace into an auxiliary Hilbert subspace $\mathcal{H}_P$ and identifying a parent Hamiltonian within it,…
We generally expect quantum systems to thermalize and satisfy the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH), which states that finite energy density eigenstates are thermal. However, some systems, such as many-body localized systems and…
We construct few-body, interacting, nonlocal Hamiltonians with a quantum scar state in an otherwise thermalizing many-body spectrum. In one dimension, the embedded state is a critical state, and in two dimensions, the embedded state is a…
We construct a set of exact, highly excited eigenstates for a nonintegrable spin-1/2 model in one dimension that is relevant to experiments on Rydberg atoms in the antiblockade regime. These states provide a new solvable example of quantum…
In quantum systems, a subspace spanned by degenerate eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian may have higher symmetries than those of the Hamiltonian itself. When this enhanced-symmetry group can be generated from local operators, we call it a…
Quantum many-body scars are highly excited eigenstates of non-integrable Hamiltonians which violate the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis and are embedded in a sea of thermal eigenstates. We provide a general mechanism to construct…
We construct a family of three-body spin-1/2 Hamiltonians with a super-extensive set of infinitely long-lived multi-magnon states. A magnon in each such state carries either quasi-momentum zero or fixed $p_0\neq$ 0, and energy $\Omega$ .…
We investigate the quantum dynamics of the 1D spinless Fermi-Hubbard model with a linear-tilted potential. Surprisingly in a strong resonance regime, we show that the model can be described by the kinetically constrained effective…
In this work, based on the Fredkin spin chain, we introduce a family of spin-$1/2$ many-body Hamiltonians with a three-site interaction featuring a fragmented Hilbert space with coexisting quantum many-body scars. The fragmentation results…
Quantum many-body scars (QMBSs) are a novel paradigm for the violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis -- Hamiltonians of these systems exhibit mid-spectrum eigenstates that are equidistant in energy and which possess low…
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…
