Rydberg-cavity systems are emerging as promising platforms for quantum simulation and quantum information processing. These hybrid architectures combine two complementary interaction mechanisms: cavity photons mediate collective long-range…

In this work we propose a new scheme to engineer subharmonic responses via scar states in a generalized PXP model. We first show that the generalized PXP model also possesses a band of scar states like the pristine PXP model does. In…

The far-from-equilibrium dynamics of certain interacting quantum systems still defy precise understanding. One example is the so-called quantum many-body scars (QMBSs), where a set of energy eigenstates evade thermalization to give rise to…

Quantum many-body scars (QMBS) constitute a new quantum dynamical regime in which rare "scarred" eigenstates mediate weak ergodicity breaking. One open question is to understand the most general setting in which these states arise. In this…

Many systems that host exact quantum many-body scars (towers of energy-equidistant low entanglement eigenstates) are governed by a Hamiltonian that splits into a Zeeman term and a sum of local terms that annihilate the scar subspace. We…
