Quantum many-body scars are nonthermal states exhibiting persistent revivals in an otherwise ergodic, nonintegrable quantum system. Here we leverage the phenomenon of kinetic frustration -- the destructive interference of multiple quantum…

Given that any subsystem of a closed out-of-equilibrium quantum system is an open quantum system, its dynamics (reduced from the full system's unitary evolution) can be either Markovian (memory-less) or non-Markovian, with the latter…
