• Abstract: Disorder-free localization in translation-invariant gauge theories presents a counterintuitive yet powerful framework of ergodicity breaking in quantum many-body physics. The fragility of this phenomenon in the presence of gauge-breaking errors has recently been addressed, but no scheme has been able to reliably stabilize disorder-free localization through all accessible evolution times while preserving the disorder-free property. Here, we introduce the concept of \textit{Stark gauge protection}, which entails a linear sum in gauge-symmetry local (pseudo)generators weighted by a Stark potential. Using exact diagonalization and Krylov-based methods, we show how this scheme can stabilize or even enhance disorder-free localization against gauge-breaking errors in $\mathrm{U}(1)$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theories up to all accessible evolution times, without inducing \textit{bona fide} Stark many-body localization. We show through a Magnus expansion that the dynamics under Stark gauge protection is described by an effective Hamiltonian where gauge-breaking terms are suppressed locally by the protection strength and additionally by the matter site index, which we argue is the main reason behind stabilizing the localization up to all accessible times. Our scheme is readily feasible in modern ultracold-atom experiments and Rydberg-atom setups with optical tweezers.

  We present the first measurements of out-of-time correlators and Holevo information in a Rydberg atom array. By leveraging these tools, we observe a novel qu-temporal collapse-revival behaviour of quantum information. Our experiment sheds light on the unique information dynamics in many-body systems with kinetic constraints.

  A periodically driven (Floquet) system in the absence of any conservation law heats to a featureless infinite temperature' state. Here, we find--for a clean and interacting generic spin chain--that this can be prevented by the emergence of it approximate but stable conservation-laws not present in the undriven system. We show numerically, it in the thermodynamic limit,' that when required by these emergent conservation-laws, the entanglement-entropy density of an infinite subsystem remains zero.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states. We implement the one-dimensional kicked Ising model which exhibits non-local Majorana edge modes (MEMs) with $mathbbZ$ parity symmetry. MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism.

  Disorder-free localization is a paradigm of nonergodicity in translation-in quantum many-body systems hosting gauge symmetries. We show that translation-invariant textitsingle-body gauge terms induce a quantum Zeno effect that reliably protects disorder-free localization against errors up to times in the protection strength.

We show the efficacy of this scheme for nonperturbative errors in analog quantum simulators up to all accessible evolution times in the thermodynamic limit. Our results indicate the presence of an emergent gauge symmetry in an adjusted gauge theory even in the thermodynamic limit.

  A major challenge is the reliability of gauge-protection schemes in non-Abelian gauge theories. We use gauge-protection terms that energetically stabilize the target gauge sector in Hilbert space.

  We study the dynamics of textitsymmetry violation in quantum many-body systems with slight coherent (at strength $lambda$) or incoherent breaking of their local and global symmetries. We show that symmetry breaking generically leads to a crossover in the divergence growth from diffusive behavior at onset times to ballistic or hyperballistic scaling at intermediate times, before diffusion dominates at long times.
