• Abstract: Quantum many-body scars are rare nonthermal states embedded within otherwise thermalizing spectra, making them promising candidates for storing and manipulating quantum information. However, a general framework that can both identify such states without prior knowledge of their microscopic scarring mechanism and determine when they enable a quantum error correcting code has remained elusive. Here, we develop an end-to-end framework connecting nonthermal-state discovery to certifiable quantum error correction using a many-body spectral localizer. By searching for states jointly localized in energy and a diagnostic observable in systems with a many-body grading symmetry, the spectral localizer identifies candidate scars within dense many-body spectra in tandem with a topological index whose shifts determine their graded subspace. For suitable pairs of same-graded scars, the grading renders grading-odd errors exactly detectable, while their localization can suppress the logical action of sufficiently local grading-even error products, yielding an approximate Knill--Laflamme condition and an operator-algebra quantum error-correction structure. We demonstrate the scar-identification framework in one- and two-dimensional density-difference-dependent bosonic models and in the PXP model, and explicitly construct the resulting approximate quantum code in the one-dimensional bosonic system. Our results establish a systematic route from identifying nonthermal many-body states to exploiting them for protecting quantum information, and position pseudospectral methods as a broadly applicable tool for discovering useful behaviors in interacting quantum systems.

  Storing quantum information requires battling quantum decoherence, which results in a loss of information over time. To achieve error-resistant quantum memory, one would like to store the information in a quantum superposition of degenerate states engineered in such a way that local sources of noise cannot change one state into another. We show that this platform also allows to detect and correct certain types of errors en route to the goal of true error-resistant quantum memory.
