• Abstract: Persistent revivals recently observed in Rydberg atom simulators have challenged our understanding of thermalization and attracted much interest to the concept of quantum many-body scars (QMBSs). QMBSs are non-thermal highly excited eigenstates that coexist with typical eigenstates in the spectrum of many-body Hamiltonians, and have since been reported in multiple theoretical models, including the so-called PXP model, approximately realized by Rydberg simulators. At the same time, questions of how common QMBSs are and in what models they are physically realized remain open. In this Letter, we demonstrate that QMBSs exist in a broader family of models that includes and generalizes PXP to longer-range constraints and states with different periodicity. We show that in each model, multiple QMBS families can be found. Each of them relies on a different approximate $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ algebra, leading to oscillatory dynamics in all cases. However, in contrast to the PXP model, their observation requires launching dynamics from weakly entangled initial states rather than from a product state. QMBSs reported here may be experimentally probed using Rydberg atom simulator in the regime of longer-range Rydberg blockades.

  We construct models with multiple quantum many-body scars (QMBS) using integrable boundary states(IBS) We focus on the tilted N'eel states, which are parametrized IBS of the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model, and show that these states can be used to construct a tower of scar states. Our results provide novel insights into constructing QMBS using IBS, thereby illuminating the connection between QMBS and integrable models.

  Isolated interacting quantum systems generally thermalize, yet there are several counterexamples for the breakdown of ergodicity. Recently, ergodicity breaking has been observed in systems subjected to linear potentials, termed Stark many-body localization. Here, we experimentally explore initial-state dependent dynamics using a ladder-type superconducting processor with up to 24 qubits.

  Some initial states give rise to persistent quantum revivals -- a type of weak ergodicity breaking known as quantum many-body scarring' (QMBS) We show that QMBS gets destroyed by tuning the system to a quantum critical point, echoing the disappearance of long-range order in the system's ground state at equilibrium. We demonstrate the existence of a continuous family of initial states that give rise to QMBS and formulate a ramping protocol that can be used to prepare such states in experiment.

We also review Hilbert Space Fragmentation, a related phenomenon where systems exhibit a richer variety of ergodic and non-ergodic behaviors.
