- Abstract: The concept of quantum many-body scars has recently been put forward as a
route to describe weak ergodicity breaking and violation of the Eigenstate
Thermalization Hypothesis. We propose a simple setup to generate quantum
many-body scars in a doubly modulated Bose-Hubbard system which can be readily
implemented in cold atomic gases. The dynamics are shown to be governed by
kinetic constraints which appear via density assisted tunneling in a
high-frequency expansion. We find the optimal driving parameters for the
kinetically constrained hopping which leads to small isolated subspaces of
scared eigenstates. The experimental signatures and the transition to fully
thermalizing behavior as a function of driving frequency are analyzed.

Quantum many-body scarring (QMBS) is a recently discovered form of weak ergodicity breaking in strongly-interacting quantum systems.
Here, we experimentally realize a distinct kind of QMBS phenomena by approximately decoupling a part of the many-body Hilbert space in the computational basis.
Our experimental findings broaden the realm of QMBS mechanisms and pave the way to exploiting correlations in QMBS states for applications in quantum information technology.

Reservoir engineering is a remarkable task that takes dissipation and decoherence as tools rather than impediments.
We develop a collisional model to implement reservoir engineering for the one-dimensional harmonic motion of a trapped ion.
Having multiple internal levels, we show that multiple reservoirs can be engineered, allowing for more efficient synthesis of well-known non-classical states of motion.
