• Abstract: We reveal a feature of quantum scarring in systems with many particles: Quantum scars, living densely near an unstable periodic orbit, must be compensated by corresponding antiscarred states suppressed there to establish the uniformity of the whole. The uniformity of the underlying phase space is linked to early-time dynamics -- a regime beyond the predictions of random matrix theory and encapsulated in the eigenstate stacking theorem. By extending the domain of the stacking theorem, we apply our theory to a chaotic spinor Bose-Einstein condensate, whose quantum scar dynamics have recently been observed in the laboratory. Our work uncovers how scarring of some eigenstates affects the rest of the chaotic and thermal spectrum in quantum systems with many particles.

• Quantum scars in many-body systems [28.32223907511862]
  We show that quantum mechanics hinders chaos in many-body systems. Although the quantum eigenstates are thermal and strongly entangled, exponentially many of them are scarred. Scarring makes the system more likely to be found on an orbit it was on, retaining a memory of its past and thus weakly breaking ergodicity.

• Universal correlations in chaotic many-body quantum states: Fock-space formulation of Berrys random wave model [0.0]
  We show that the randomness of chaotic eigenstates in interacting quantum systems hides subtle correlations imposed by their finite energy per particle. These correlations are revealed when Berrys approach for chaotic eigenfunctions in single-particle systems is lifted into many-body space. We then identify the universality of both the cross-correlations and the Gaussian distribution of expansion coefficients as the signatures of chaotic eigenstates.

  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.
