• Abstract summary: Quantum many-body scars (QMBS) are a new paradigm for ergodicity-breaking. QMBSs can arise in one such model, namely the spin-$1$ Kitaev chain. We numerically demonstrate that its fidelity revivals are robust and longer-lived than those in the PXP model.

• Abstract: Experimental observation of coherent oscillations in a Rydberg atom chain [Bernien et al., Nature 551, 579 (2017)] has led to the discovery of quantum many-body scars (QMBS) which is a new paradigm for ergodicity-breaking. The experimental findings in the Rydberg chain can be well captured by a kinetically constrained model called the "PXP" model, which has been shown to host the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH)-violating scar states in the middle of the spectrum. Much effort has been put into identifying similar kinetically restricted systems that show a violation of ETH. In this work, we study the QMBS that can arise in one such model, namely the spin-$1$ Kitaev chain, where owing to some conserved quantities, the Hilbert space gets fragmented into unequal disconnected subspaces. Recently, You et al. [Phys. Rev. Research 4, 013103 (2022)] showed that the ground state sector of this chain can be mapped exactly onto the prototypical PXP model and thus hosts QMBSs. Here, we demonstrate that the phenomenon of scarring is also present in other sectors, and in particular, we identify a sector that exhibits substantially more scarring than the ground state one. We propose an initial state and numerically demonstrate that its fidelity revivals are robust and longer-lived than those in the PXP model.

  We numerically compute the fidelity and average correlations to monitor the state evolution and to identify revivals. Results indicate that, on the one hand, the entanglement entropy of PXP scars exhibit great sensitivity. Other scar signatures, such as the revivals of states having large overlap with scars, show remarkable robustness.

  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 study the ergodicity-breaking "quantum many-body scar" states that appear in the PXP model describing constrained Rabi oscillations. For a wide class of bipartite lattices of Rydberg atoms, we reveal that the nearly energy-equidistant tower of these states arises from the Hamiltonian's close proximity to a generalized projector-embedding form.

  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.

  Quantum Many-Body Scars (QMBS) have shown that a weak violation of ergodicity can lead to rich experimental and theoretical physics. We provide a pedagogical introduction to and an overview of the exact results on weak ergodicity breaking via QMBS in isolated quantum systems. We also review Hilbert Space Fragmentation, a related phenomenon where systems exhibit a richer variety of ergodic and non-ergodic behaviors.

  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.
