Kinetic constraints in quantum many-body systems strongly restrict the accessible Hilbert space, giving rise to highly nontrivial dynamical behavior. In recent years, such systems have attracted growing interest as they provide insight into…
Experimental observation of coherent oscillations in a Rydberg atom chain [Bernien et al., Nature 551, 579 (2017)] has led to the discovery of quantum many-body scars (QMBS) which is a new paradigm for ergodicity-breaking. The experimental…

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…

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;…
Quantum emulators, owing to their large degree of tunability and control, allow the observation of fine aspects of closed quantum many-body systems, as either the regime where thermalization takes place or when it is halted by the presence…
