Although entanglement is a key resource for quantum-enhanced metrology, not all entanglement is useful. For example in the process of many-body thermalisation, bipartite entanglement grows rapidly, naturally saturating to a volume law. This…

Quantum many-body scars, long-lived excited states of correlated quantum chaotic systems that evade thermalization, are of great fundamental and technological interest. We create novel scar states in a bosonic 1D quantum gas of dysprosium…

Motivated by recent experimental observations of coherent many-body revivals in a constrained Rydberg atom chain, we construct a weak quasi-local deformation of the Rydberg blockade Hamiltonian, which makes the revivals virtually perfect.…

Mechanisms that give rise to coherent quantum dynamics, such as quantum many-body scars, have recently attracted much interest as a way of controlling quantum chaos. However, identifying the presence of quantum scars in general many-body…

We present a class of quantum dimer models on the kagome lattice with full translational invariance that feature a quantum many-body scar state of analytically known entanglement properties within their spectra. Using exact diagonalization…

We present a general symmetry-based framework for obtaining many-body Hamiltonians with scarred eigenstates that do not obey the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. Our models are derived from parent Hamiltonians with a non-Abelian (or…

The recent observations of persistent revivals in the Rydberg atom chain have revealed a weak ergodicity breaking mechanism known as quantum many-body scars, which is typically a collection of states with low entanglement embedded in…

Quantum many-body scars in Rydberg atom arrays have thus far only been observed on bipartite lattices, leaving open the question of whether and how they survive frustration, and what the appropriate initial states are that lead to…

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;…
