• Abstract: Fractonic superfluids are exotic phases of matter in which bosons are subject to mobility constraints, resulting in features beyond those of conventional superfluids. These exotic phases arise from the spontaneous breaking of higher-rank symmetry (HRS) in many-body systems with higher-moment conservation, such as dipoles, quadrupoles, and angular moments. The aim of this paper is to introduce exciting developments on the theory of spontaneous symmetry breaking in such systems, which we refer to as ``many-fracton systems''. More specifically, we introduce exciting progress on general aspects of HRS, minimal model construction, realization of symmetry-breaking ground states, order parameter, off-diagonal long-range order (ODLRO), Noether currents with continuity equations, Gross-Pitaevskii equations, quantum fluctuations, Goldstone modes, specific heat, generalized Mermin-Wagner theorem, critical current, Landau criterion, symmetry defects, and Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT)-like physics, hydrodynamics, and dipolar Hubbard model realization. This paper is concluded with several future directions.

  Non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum spin models is a most challenging topic, due to the exponentiality of Hilbert space. A particularly important class of evolutions is the one governed by U(1) symmetric Hamiltonians. We show that the dynamics of the OAT model can be closely reproduced by systems with power-lawdecaying interactions.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
