- Abstract: Recent studies have revealed that frustration-free models, expressed as sums of finite-range interactions or hoppings, exhibit several properties markedly different from those of frustrated models. In this work, we demonstrate that, by relaxing the finite-range condition to allow for exponentially decaying hoppings, one can build gapped frustration-free systems that realize Chern insulators as well as quasi-degenerate ground states with finite-size splittings. Moreover, by permitting power-law decaying hoppings, we also construct a gapless band metal whose finite-size gap scales inversely with the system size $L$. These findings serve as an important step toward clarifying the general properties of frustration-free systems and those represented by tensor network states.

We argue that gapless modes can lead to persistent dynamics in the spin observables with the possible formation of dissipative time-crystals.

This paper aims to make a rigorous connection between the different low-degree and free-energy based approaches.
We define a free-energy based criterion for hardness and formally connect it to the well-established notion of low-degree hardness.
Results provide both conceptual insights into the connections between different notions of hardness, as well as concrete technical tools.

Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics.
We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function.
We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

Non-ergodicity may be caused by a fragmentation of the many-body Hilbert-space into dynamically disconnected subspaces.
The tilted one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model was proposed as a platform to realize fragmented models perturbatively in the limit of large tilt.

Free energy perturbation (FEP) was proposed by Zwanzig more than six decades ago as a method to estimate free energy differences.
FEP suffers from a severe limitation: the requirement of sufficient overlap between distributions.
One strategy to mitigate this problem, called Targeted Free Energy Perturbation, uses a high-dimensional mapping in configuration space to increase overlap.
