• Abstract summary: We show that the kinematically-constrained model of Rydberg atoms on a two-leg ladder with staggered detuning has quantum many-body scars (QMBS) in its spectrum. QMBS result in coherent many-body revivals and site-dependent magnetization dynamics for both N'eel and Rydberg vacuum initial states around $Delta=1$.

• Abstract: We demonstrate that the kinematically-constrained model of Rydberg atoms on a two-leg ladder with staggered detuning, $\Delta \in [0,1]$, has quantum many-body scars (QMBS) in its spectrum and represents a non-perturbative generalization of the paradigmatic PXP model defined on a chain. We show that these QMBS result in coherent many-body revivals and site-dependent magnetization dynamics for both N\'eel and Rydberg vacuum initial states around $\Delta=1$. The latter feature leads to eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH)-violating finite imbalance at long times in a disorder free system. This is further demonstrated by constructing appropriate local imbalance operators that display finite long-time averages for N\'eel and vacuum initial states. We also study the fidelity and Shannon entropy for such dynamics which, along with the presence of long-time finite imbalance, brings out the qualitatively different nature of QMBS in PXP ladders with $\Delta \sim 1$ from those in the PXP chain.

As opposed to an assertion of previous studies, the entanglement dynamics in this non-Hermitian quantum system is very different from the one in its Hermitian counterpart.

  We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

  We study QMBS in spin-$S$ $mathrmU(1)$ quantum link models with staggered fermions. We find that QMBS persist at $S>1/2$, with the resonant scarring regime, which occurs for a zero-mass quench. Our results conclusively show that QMBS exist in a wide class of lattice gauge theories in one spatial dimension.

  Rydberg atoms in optical tweezer arrays provide a playground for nonequilibrium quantum many-body physics. The PXP model describes the dynamics of such systems in the strongly interacting Rydberg blockade regime. We show that the interplay between these emergent symmetries and the Rydberg blockade constraint dramatically slows down the system's dynamics beyond naive expectations.
