Stable infinite-temperature eigenstates in SU(2)-symmetric nonintegrable models
Christopher J. Turner, Marcin Szyniszewski, Bhaskar Mukherjee +3
Nonintegrable many-body quantum systems typically thermalize at long times through the mechanism of quantum chaos. However, some exceptional systems, such as those harboring quantu…
Renormalization view on resonance proliferation between many-body localized phases
Jared Jeyaretnam, Christopher J. Turner, Arijeet Pal
Topology and many-body localization (MBL) have opened new avenues for preserving quantum information at finite energy density. Resonant delocalization plays a crucial role in desta…
A proposal for realising quantum scars in the tilted 1D Fermi-Hubbard model
Jean-Yves Desaules, Ana Hudomal, Christopher J. Turner +1
Motivated by recent observations of ergodicity breaking due to Hilbert space fragmentation in 1D Fermi-Hubbard chains with a tilted potential [Scherg et al., arXiv:2010.12965], we…
Correspondence principle for many-body scars in ultracold Rydberg atoms
Christopher J. Turner, Jean-Yves Desaules, Kieran Bull +1
The theory of quantum scarring -- a remarkable violation of quantum unique ergodicity -- rests on two complementary pillars: the existence of unstable classical periodic orbits and…
Stabilizing two-dimensional quantum scars by deformation and synchronization
A. A. Michailidis, C. J. Turner, Z. Papić +2
Relaxation to a thermal state is the inevitable fate of non-equilibrium interacting quantum systems without special conservation laws. While thermalization in one-dimensional (1D)…
Slow quantum thermalization and many-body revivals from mixed phase space
A. A. Michailidis, C. J. Turner, Z. Papić +2
Relaxation of few-body quantum systems can strongly depend on the initial state when the system's semiclassical phase space is mixed, i.e., regions of chaotic motion coexist with r…
Emergent SU(2) dynamics and perfect quantum many-body scars
Soonwon Choi, Christopher J. Turner, Hannes Pichler +6
Motivated by recent experimental observations of coherent many-body revivals in a constrained Rydberg atom chain, we construct a weak quasi-local deformation of the Rydberg blockad…
Quantum scarred eigenstates in a Rydberg atom chain: entanglement, breakdown of thermalization, and stability to perturbations
C. J. Turner, A. A. Michailidis, D. A. Abanin +2
Recent realization of a kinetically-constrained chain of Rydberg atoms by Bernien et al. [Nature 551, 579 (2017)] resulted in the observation of unusual revivals in the many-body q…
Machine Learning Entanglement Freedom Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Linear Regression
Samuel Spillard, Christopher J. Turner, Konstantinos Meichanetzidis
Quantum many-body systems realise many different phases of matter characterised by their exotic emergent phenomena. While some simple versions of these properties can occur in syst…
Quantum many-body scars
Christopher J. Turner, Alexios A. Michailidis, Dmitry A. Abanin +2
Certain wave functions of non-interacting quantum chaotic systems can exhibit "scars" in the fabric of their real-space density profile. Quantum scarred wave functions concentrate…
Free-fermion descriptions of parafermion chains and string-net models
Konstantinos Meichanetzidis, Christopher J. Turner, Ashk Farjami +2
Topological phases of matter remain a focus of interest due to their unique properties -- fractionalisation, ground state degeneracy, and exotic excitations. While some of these pr…
Optimal free descriptions of many-body theories
Christopher J. Turner, Konstantinos Meichanetzidis, Zlatko Papic +1
Interacting bosons or fermions give rise to some of the most fascinating phases of matter, including high-temperature superconductivity, the fractional quantum Hall effect, quantum…
