• Abstract: The existence of $p$-form symmetry in $(d+1)$-dimensional quantum field is known to always lead to the breakdown of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) for certain $(d-p)$-dimensional operators other than symmetry operators under some assumptions. The assumptions include the mixing of symmetry sectors within a given energy shell, which is rather challenging to verify because it requires information on the eigenstates in the middle of the spectrum. We reconsider this assumption from the viewpoint of projective representations to avoid this difficulty. In the case of $\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetries, we can circumvent the difficulty by considering $\mathbb{Z}_N\times\mathbb{Z}_N$-symmetric theories with nontrivial projective phases, and perturbing the Hamiltonian while preserving one of the $\mathbb{Z}_N$ symmetries of our interest. We also perform numerical analyses for $(1+1)$-dimensional spin chains and the $(2+1)$-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory.

  We study the spectrum of a family of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians written in terms of the generators of the non-standard $U_z(sl(2, mathbb R))$ Hopf algebra deformation. We show that this non-standard quantum algebra can be used to define an effective model Hamiltonian describing accurately the experimental spectra of three-electron hybrid qubits.

• Violation of Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis in Quantum Field Theories with Higher-Form Symmetry [0.0]
  We show that a higher-form symmetry in a $(d+1)$-dimensional quantum field theory leads to the breakdown of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. For higher-form (i.e., $pgeq 1$) symmetry, this indicates the absence of thermalization for lattice observables that are non-local but much smaller than the whole system size.

  In (1)D topological phases, unpaired Majorana zero modes (MZMs) can arise only if the internal symmetry group $G_f$ of the ground state splits as $G_f = G_b times mathbbZf$. In contrast, (2+1)D topological superconductors (TSC) can host unpaired MZMs at defects even when $G_f$ is not of the form $G_b times mathbbZf$.
