• Abstract: We report on an experiment achieving the dynamical generation of non-Gaussian states of motion of a levitated optomechanical system. We access intrinsic Duffing-like non-linearities by squeezing an oscillator's state of motion through rapidly switching the frequency of its trap. We characterize the experimental non-Gaussian state against expectations from simulations and give prospects for the emergence of genuine non-classical features.

• Enhancing Revivals Via Projective Measurements in a Quantum Scarred System [51.3422222472898]
  Quantum many-body scarred systems exhibit atypical dynamical behavior, evading thermalization and featuring periodic state revivals. We investigate the impact of projective measurements on the dynamics in the scar subspace for the paradigmatic PXP model. We identify a measurement-induced phase resynchronization, countering the natural dephasing of quantum scars, as the key mechanism underlying this phenomenon.

We show that oscillations persist even in the adiabatic phase because of a frequency independent coupling between zero modes and excited states.
