• Abstract: In this work, based on the Fredkin spin chain, we introduce a family of spin-$1/2$ many-body Hamiltonians with a three-site interaction featuring a fragmented Hilbert space with coexisting quantum many-body scars. The fragmentation results from an emergent kinetic constraint resembling the conserved spin configuration in the 1D Fermi-Hubbard model in the infinite onsite repulsion limit. To demonstrate the many-body scars, we construct an exact eigenstate that is in the middle of the spectrum within each fractured sub-sector displaying either logarithmic or area-law entanglement entropy. The interplay between fragmentation and scarring leads to rich tunable non-ergodic dynamics by quenching different initial states that is shown through large scale matrix product state simulations. In addition, we provide a Floquet quantum circuit that displays non-ergodic dynamics as a result of sharing the same fragmentation structure and scarring as the Hamiltonian.

  In the noninteracting case, quantized Thouless pumps can only occur when a topological singularity is encircled adiabatically. In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the noninteracting singularity.

  We analytically show that, in the absence of any magnetic field for the spins, the model exhibits Hilbert space fragmentation into exponentially many Krylov subspaces. We also study the long-time behavior of the entanglement entropy and its deviation from the expected Page value as a probe of ergodicity in the system.

  We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  We study the interplay between scarring and weak fragmentation in a class of one-dimensional spin-$1$ frustration-free projector Hamiltonians, known as deformed Motzkin chain. We show that at high energies the particular form of the projectors causes the emergence of disjoint Krylov subspaces for open boundary conditions.

  We experimentally investigate non-equilibrium dynamics following rapid quenches in a many-body system composed of 3 to 200 strongly interacting qubits in one and two spatial dimensions. We discover that scar revivals can be stabilized by periodic driving, which generates a robust subharmonic response akin to discrete time-crystalline order.

• Disorder enhanced quantum many-body scars in Hilbert crystals [0.0]
  We consider a model arising in facilitated Rydberg chains with positional disorder which features a Hilbert space with the topology of a $d$-dimensional hypercube. We show that an integrability-breaking disorder enhances the scars followed by inhibition of the dynamics due to strong localization of the eigenstates in the large disorder limit. Next, mapping the model to the spin-1/2 XX Heisenberg chain offers a simple geometrical perspective on the recently proposed Onsager scars.
