Kinetically constrained systems, such as those representing Rydberg atom arrays in the blockade regime, have gathered considerable attention due to the presence of atypical eigenst…
Resonant false vacuum decay in two dimensions on a 4000-qubit quantum annealer
Gregor Humar, Jean-Yves Desaules, Luka Pavešić +4
From cosmology to quantum matter, metastable states often decay through the nucleation and growth of competing domains, with false vacuum decay providing the paradigmatic example o…
Coherent dynamics in chaotic spin chains via interference-protected subspaces
Aron Kerschbaumer, Jean-Yves Desaules, Maksym Serbyn
Generic quantum many-body systems are expected to thermalize, scrambling initial coherence while local observables relax to equilibrium values. Weak ergodicity breaking, often asso…
