- Abstract summary: We show that QMBS emerge in a previously unexplored regime of a lattice gauge theory.
We find a variety of scarred states far away from the regime where the model is integrable.
The presence of these states is revealed both by tracing them directly from the analytically reachable limit, as well as by quantum quenches showing persistent oscillations for specific initial states.

- Abstract: The weak ergodicity breaking induced by quantum many-body scars (QMBS)
represents an intriguing concept that has received great attention in recent
years due to its relation to unusual non-equilibrium behaviour. Here we reveal
that this phenomenon can occur in a previously unexplored regime of a lattice
gauge theory, where QMBS emerge due to the presence of an extensive number of
local constraints. In particular, by analyzing the gauged Kitaev model, we
provide an example where QMBS appear in a regime where charges are deconfined.
By means of both numerical and analytical approaches, we find a variety of
scarred states far away from the regime where the model is integrable. The
presence of these states is revealed both by tracing them directly from the
analytically reachable limit, as well as by quantum quenches showing persistent
oscillations for specific initial states.

We focus on the tilted N'eel states, which are parametrized IBS of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model, and show that these states can be used to construct a tower of scar states.
Our results provide novel insights into constructing QMBS using IBS, thereby illuminating the connection between QMBS and integrable models.
