• Abstract: We propose a class of non-integrable quantum spin chain models that exhibit quantum many-body scars even in the presence of disorder. With the use of the so-called Onsager symmetry, we construct such scarred models for arbitrary spin quantum number $ S $. There are two types of scar states, namely, coherent states associated to an Onsager-algebra element and one-magnon scar states. While both of them are highly-excited states, they have area-law entanglement and can be written as a matrix product state. Therefore, they explicitly violate the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. We also investigate the dynamics of the fidelity and entanglement entropy for several initial states. The results clearly show that the scar states are trapped in a perfectly periodic orbit in the Hilbert subspace and never thermalize, whereas other generic states do rapidly. To our knowledge, our model is the first explicit example of disordered quantum many-body scarred model.

  We consider a class of Heisenberg all-to-all coupled spin models inspired by neutrino interactions in a supernova with $N$ degrees of freedom. These models are characterized by a coupling matrix that is relatively simple in the sense that there are only a few, relative to $N$, non-trivial eigenvalues.

• Tower of two-dimensional scar states in a localized system [0.0]
  We study a finite, two-dimensional, disordered model hosting a tower of scar states. We find numerically that the spectra are nonthermal, and the scar states appear as exact eigenstates with high entropy. We argue that, for the considered type of models, the localization is stronger than what would be naively expected.

  We argue that all holographic quantum field theories, including $mathcalN=4$ super Yang--Mills, have scar states. Their presence is tied to the existence of non-topological, horizonless soliton solutions in gravity.

• Duality between open systems and closed bilayer systems, and thermofield double states as quantum many-body scars [49.1574468325115]
  We find a duality between open many-body systems governed by the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad (GKSL) equation. Under this duality, the identity operator on the open system side maps to the thermofield double state. We identify broad classes of many-body open systems with nontrivial explicit eigen operators $Q$ of the Lindbladian superoperator.

  We show that the probability of having a many-body scar state with entanglement entropy satisfying a sub-volume scaling law decreases double exponentially as the system size. Our results provide a quantitative argument for the disappearance of scar states in interacting fermion systems.

  We study the ergodicity-breaking "quantum many-body scar" states that appear in the PXP model describing constrained Rabi oscillations. For a wide class of bipartite lattices of Rydberg atoms, we reveal that the nearly energy-equidistant tower of these states arises from the Hamiltonian's close proximity to a generalized projector-embedding form.
