We introduce a disorder-free model of $S=1/2$ spins on the square lattice in a constrained Hilbert space where two up-spins are not allowed simultaneously on any two neighboring sites of the lattice. The interactions are given by…

Entanglement entropy is a fundamental diagnostic for quantum chaos, typically exhibiting volume-law scaling in highly excited eigenstates of chaotic many-body systems. In this work, we present a striking counterexample: a Floquet-driven…

The five-band Hubbard model for a $d$ band with one electron per site is a model which has very interesting properties when the relevant ions are located at sites with high (e. g. cubic) symmetry. In that case, if the crystal field…

Topological quantum many-body systems, such as Hall insulators, are characterized by a hidden order encoded in the entanglement between their constituents. Entanglement entropy, an experimentally accessible single number that globally…

We apply Projected Hartree-Fock theory (PHF) for approximating ground states of Heisenberg spin clusters. Spin-rotational, point-group and complex-conjugation symmetry are variationally restored from a broken-symmetry mean-field reference,…

We consider fully many-body localized systems, i.e. isolated quantum systems where all the many-body eigenstates of the Hamiltonian are localized. We define a sense in which such systems are integrable, with localized conserved operators.…

Certain disorder-free Hamiltonians can be non-ergodic due to a \emph{strong fragmentation} of the Hilbert space into disconnected sectors. Here, we characterize such systems by introducing the notion of `statistically localized integrals of…

The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) is a successful theory that establishes the criteria for ergodicity and thermalization in isolated quantum many-body systems. In this work, we investigate the thermalization properties of…

We study the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a series of finite-size clusters with features inspired by the fullerenes. Frustration due to the presence of pentagonal rings makes such structures challenging in the context of…
