• Abstract: Quantum scars are non-thermal eigenstates characterized by low entanglement entropy, initially detected in systems subject to nearest-neighbor Rydberg blockade, the so called PXP model. While most of these special eigenstates elude an analytical description and seem to hybridize with nearby thermal eigenstates for large systems, some of them can be written as matrix product states (MPS) with size-independent bond dimension. We study the response of these exact quantum scars to perturbations by analysing the scaling of the fidelity susceptibility with system size. We find that some of them are anomalously stable at first order in perturbation theory, in sharp contrast to the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. However, this stability seems to breakdown when all orders are taken into account. We further investigate models with larger blockade radius and find a novel set of exact quantum scars, that we write down analytically and compare with the PXP exact eigenstates. We show that they exhibit the same robustness against perturbations at first order.

  We numerically compute the fidelity and average correlations to monitor the state evolution and to identify revivals. Results indicate that, on the one hand, the entanglement entropy of PXP scars exhibit great sensitivity. Other scar signatures, such as the revivals of states having large overlap with scars, show remarkable robustness.

  A class of nonintegrable bond-staggered models is endowed with a large number of zero-energy eigenstates and possesses a non-Abelian internal symmetry. We show that few-magnon zero-energy states have an exact analytical description, allowing us to build a basis of low-entangled fixed-separation states.

  We study the stability of the many-body scars in spin-1/2 fermionic systems under the most typical perturbations in relevant materials. We find that some families of scars are completely insensitive to certain perturbations. In small systems and at small perturbations, we identify and describe an additional stability exhibited by the many-body scars.

  Quantum many-body scarred systems host nonthermal excited eigenstates immersed in a sea of thermal ones. We propose a matrix-product-state (MPS) algorithm, dubbed DMRG-S, to extract such states at system sizes far beyond the scope of exact diagonalization. We find several new scarred eigenstates with exact MPS representations in kinetically constrained spin and clock models.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
