• Abstract summary: Supersymmetry provides a natural playground for the construction of kinetically constrained lattice fermion models. Supersymmetry directly implies that the dynamics exhibit periodic revivals for specific initial states. We draw a further parallel by uncovering quantum many-body scar-like eigenstates obeying sub-thermal entanglement scaling at energies given by (plus or minus) square roots of integers.

• Abstract: Supersymmetry provides a natural playground for the construction of kinetically constrained lattice fermion models showing weak ergodicity breaking. The supersymmetric algebra naturally induces non-ergodic dynamics, as we illustrate here by introducing a fermionic equivalent of the PXP model with an adjustable chemical potential. This model is closely related to the $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetric $M_1$ model. Supersymmetry directly implies that the dynamics exhibit periodic revivals for specific initial states, including the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-ordered (every second site occupied) product state. These dynamics are reminiscent to those of the PXP model, a paradigmatic toy model in the field of quantum many-body scars. We draw a further parallel by uncovering quantum many-body scar-like eigenstates obeying sub-thermal entanglement scaling at energies given by (plus or minus) square roots of integers and relate these to special eigenstates of the $M_1$ model.

  We investigate the anisotropic coupled-top model, which describes the interactions between two large spins along both $x-$ and $y-$directions. We can manipulate the system's symmetry, inducing either discrete $Z$ or continuous U(1) symmetry. The framework provides an ideal platform for experimentally controlling symmetries and investigating associated physical phenomena.

  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.

  Non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum spin models is a most challenging topic, due to the exponentiality of Hilbert space. A particularly important class of evolutions is the one governed by U(1) symmetric Hamiltonians. We show that the dynamics of the OAT model can be closely reproduced by systems with power-lawdecaying interactions.
