Towers of quantum many-body scars are sets of highly-excited eigenstates of nonintegrable Hamiltonians whose dynamics shows athermal behavior and persistent oscillations in time. The preparation of such states is, however, challenging due…

A generic closed quantum many-body system will inevitably tend to thermalization, whose local information encoded in the initial state eventually scrambles into the full space, known as quantum ergodicity. A paradigmatic exception in closed…

We construct several models with multiple quantum many-body scars (QMBS) using integrable boundary states (IBS). Specifically, we focus on the tilted N\'eel states, which are parametrized IBS for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain, and show that…

We present a computational framework to identify Hamiltonians of interacting quantum many-body systems that host non-ergodic excited states. We combine quantum Monte Carlo simulations with the recently proposed eigenstate-to-Hamiltonian…

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…

We construct a family of three-body spin-1/2 Hamiltonians with a super-extensive set of infinitely long-lived multi-magnon states. A magnon in each such state carries either quasi-momentum zero or fixed $p_0\neq$ 0, and energy $\Omega$ .…

We construct few-body, interacting, nonlocal Hamiltonians with a quantum scar state in an otherwise thermalizing many-body spectrum. In one dimension, the embedded state is a critical state, and in two dimensions, the embedded state is a…

The discovery of Quantum Many-Body Scars (QMBS) both in Rydberg atom simulators and in the Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) spin-1 chain model, have shown that a weak violation of ergodicity can still lead to rich experimental and…

It has been shown [arXiv:2007.00845] that three families of highly symmetric states are many-body scars for any spin-1/2 fermionic Hamiltonian of the form $H_0+OT$, where $T$ is a generator of an appropriate Lie group. One of these families…
