• Abstract summary: We study the many-body scars in the spin-1 Kitaev chain where the so-called PXP Hamiltonian is exactly embedded in the spectra. We find that the scarred state is stable for perturbations which obey $vertmathbbZ_krangle$, while it becomes unstable against Heisenberg-type perturbations.

• Abstract: To provide a physical example of quantum scars, we study the many-body scars in the spin-1 Kitaev chain where the so-called PXP Hamiltonian is exactly embedded in the spectra. Regarding the conserved quantities, the Hilbert space is fragmented into disconnected subspaces and we explore the associated constrained dynamics. The continuous revivals of the fidelity and the entanglement entropy when the initial state is prepared in $\vert\mathbb{Z}_k\rangle$ ($k=2,3$) state illustrate the essential physics of the PXP model. We study the quantum phase transitions in the one-dimensional spin-1 Kitaev-Heisenberg model using the density-matrix renormalization group and Lanczos exact diagonalization methods, and determine the phase diagram. We parametrize the two terms in the Hamiltonian by the angle $\phi$, where the Kitaev term is $K\equiv\sin(\phi)$ and competes with the Heisenberg $J\equiv\cos(\phi)$ term. One finds a rich ground state phase diagram as a function of the angle $\phi$. Depending on the ratio $K/J\equiv\tan(\phi)$, the system either breaks the symmetry to one of distinct symmetry broken phases, or preserves the symmetry in a quantum spin liquid phase with frustrated interactions. We find that the scarred state is stable for perturbations which obey $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetry, while it becomes unstable against Heisenberg-type perturbations.\\ \textit{Accepted for publication in Physical Review Research}

  We study the nontrivial renormalization-group scenario of fixed-point annihilation in spin-boson models. We find a tunable transition between two localized phases that can be continuous or strongly first-order. We also find scaling behavior at the symmetry-enhanced first-order transition, for which the inverse correlation-length exponent is given by the bath exponent.

It is likely that small Kitaev interactions present in Jackeli-Khaliullin-Kitaev materials, with dominant Heisenberg couplings, bring in metastable Kitaev spin liquid features in real experiments.

Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.
