• Title: Hilbert space fragmentation from lattice geometry
• Authors: Pieter H. Harkema, Michael Iversen, Anne E. B. Nielsen,
• Abstract summary: We show that Hilbert space fragmentation may arise from lattice geometry in a spin-1/2 model that conserves the number of domain walls. We also show that the model displays signatures similar to Hilbert space fragmentation on a section of the second-generation hexaflake fractal lattice and a modified two-dimensional lattice.

• Abstract: The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis describes how isolated many-body quantum systems reach thermal equilibrium. However, quantum many-body scars and Hilbert space fragmentation violate this hypothesis and cause nonthermal behavior. We demonstrate that Hilbert space fragmentation may arise from lattice geometry in a spin-1/2 model that conserves the number of domain walls. We generalize a known, one-dimensional, scarred model to larger dimensions and show that this model displays Hilbert space fragmentation on the Vicsek fractal lattice and the two-dimensional lattice. Using Monte Carlo methods, the model is characterized as strongly fragmented on the Vicsek fractal lattice when the number of domain walls is either small or close to the maximal value. On the two-dimensional lattice, the model is strongly fragmented when the density of domain walls is low and weakly fragmented when the density of domain walls is high. Furthermore, we show that the fragmentation persists at a finite density of domain walls in the thermodynamic limit for the Vicsek fractal lattice and the two-dimensional lattice. We also show that the model displays signatures similar to Hilbert space fragmentation on a section of the second-generation hexaflake fractal lattice and a modified two-dimensional lattice. We study the autocorrelation function of local observables and demonstrate that the model displays nonthermal dynamics.

• Quantum Fragmentation in the Extended Quantum Breakdown Model [0.0]
  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.

• Entanglement Fractalization [9.254741613227333]
  We numerically explore the interplay of fractal geometry and quantum entanglement by analyzing entanglement entropy and the entanglement contour in the scaling limit. For gapless ground states exhibiting a finite density of states at the chemical potential, we reveal a super-area law. A novel self-similar and universal pattern termed an entanglement fractal'' in the entanglement contour data as we approach the scaling limit bears resemblance to intricate Chinese paper-cutting designs.

  This manuscript generalizes the rainbow chain to higher dimensional space on lattices with Hausdorff dimension one and enlarged local Hilbert space. The model interpolates between the SYK model and the free-fermionic XX spin chain, and hence might be potentially useful in understanding black hole physics and holography.

• Continuous percolation in a Hilbert space for a large system of qubits [58.720142291102135]
  The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster. We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient. Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

  We study topological properties of bound pairs of photons in spatially-modulated qubit arrays coupled to a waveguide. For open boundary condition, we find exotic topological bound-pair edge states with radiative losses. By joining two structures with different spatial modulations, we find long-lived interface states which may have applications in storage and quantum information processing.

• Probing chiral edge dynamics and bulk topology of a synthetic Hall system [52.77024349608834]
  Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
