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…

The pseudogap regime of the underdoped cuprates arguably remains one of the most enigmatic phenomena of correlated quantum matter. Recent theoretical ideas suggest that a pair density wave (PDW) or a "fractionalized PDW" could be a key…

Quantum many-body scars (QMBS) consist of a few low-entropy eigenstates in an otherwise chaotic many-body spectrum, and can weakly break ergodicity resulting in robust oscillatory dynamics. The notion of QMBS follows the original…
