- Abstract: Quantum kinetically constrained models have recently attracted significant
attention due to their anomalous dynamics and thermalization. In this work, we
introduce a hitherto unexplored family of kinetically constrained models
featuring a conserved particle number and strong inversion-symmetry breaking
due to facilitated hopping. We demonstrate that these models provide a generic
example of so-called quantum Hilbert space fragmentation, that is manifested in
disconnected sectors in the Hilbert space that are not apparent in the
computational basis. Quantum Hilbert space fragmentation leads to an
exponential in system size number of eigenstates with exactly zero entanglement
entropy across several bipartite cuts. These eigenstates can be probed
dynamically using quenches from simple initial product states. In addition, we
study the particle spreading under unitary dynamics launched from the domain
wall state, and find faster than diffusive dynamics at high particle densities,
that crosses over into logarithmically slow relaxation at smaller densities.
Using a classically simulable cellular automaton, we reproduce the logarithmic
dynamics observed in the quantum case. Our work suggests that particle
conserving constrained models with inversion symmetry breaking realize so far
unexplored universality classes of dynamics and invite their further
theoretical and experimental studies.

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.

Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics.
We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function.
We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
