The notion of many-body quantum scars is associated with special eigenstates, usually concentrated in certain parts of Hilbert space, that give rise to robust persistent oscillations in a regime that globally exhibits thermalization. Here…

Unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) play a key role in the theory of chaos, constituting the "skeleton" of classical chaotic systems and "scarring" the eigenstates of the corresponding quantum system. Recently, nonthermal many-body eigenstates…

Quantum many-body scarring is a paradigm of weak ergodicity breaking arising due to the presence of special nonthermal many-body eigenstates that possess low entanglement entropy, are equally spaced in energy, and concentrate in certain…
