  text: Quantum kinetically constrained models have recently attracted significant
    attention due to their anomalous dynamics and thermalization. In this work, we
    introduce a hitherto unexplored family of kinetically constrained models featuring
    conserved particle number and strong inversion-symmetry breaking due to facilitated
    hopping. We demonstrate that these models provide a generic example of so-called
    quantum Hilbert space fragmentation, that is manifested in disconnected sectors
    in the Hilbert space that are not apparent in the computational basis. Quantum
    Hilbert space fragmentation leads to an exponential in system size number of eigenstates
    with exactly zero entanglement entropy across several bipartite cuts. These eigenstates
    can be probed dynamically using quenches from simple initial product states. In
    addition, we study the particle spreading under unitary dynamics launched from
    the domain wall state, and find faster than diffusive dynamics at high particle
    densities, that crosses over into logarithmically slow relaxation at smaller densities.
    Using a classically simulable cellular automaton, we reproduce the logarithmic
    dynamics observed in the quantum case. Our work suggests that particle conserving
    constrained models with inversion symmetry breaking realize so far unexplored
    dynamical behavior and invite their further theoretical and experimental studies.

  text: The many-body localization (MBL) proximity effect is an intriguing phenomenon
    where a thermal bath localizes due to the interaction with a disordered system.
    The interplay of thermal and nonergodic behavior in these systems gives rise to
    a rich phase diagram, whose exploration is an active field of research. In this
    paper, we study a bosonic Hubbard model featuring two particle species representing
    the bath and the disordered system. Using state-of-the-art numerical techniques,
    we investigate the dynamics of the model in different regimes, based on which
    we obtain a tentative phase diagram as a function of coupling strength and bath
    size. When the bath is composed of a single particle, we observe clear signatures
    of a transition from an MBL proximity effect to a delocalized phase. Increasing
    the bath size, however, its thermalizing effect becomes stronger and eventually
    the whole system delocalizes in the range of moderate interaction strengths studied.
    In this regime, we characterize particle transport, revealing diffusive behavior
    of the originally localized bosons.

  text: Universal nonequilibrium properties of isolated quantum systems are typically
    probed by studying transport of conserved quantities, such as charge or spin,
    while transport of energy has received considerably less attention. Here, we study
    infinite-temperature energy transport in the kinetically constrained PXP model
    describing Rydberg atom quantum simulators. Our state-of-the-art numerical simulations,
    including exact diagonalization and time-evolving block decimation methods, reveal
    the existence of two distinct transport regimes. At moderate times, the energy-energy
    correlation function displays periodic oscillations due to families of eigenstates
    forming different su(2) representations hidden within the spectrum. These families
    of eigenstates generalize the quantum many-body scarred states found in previous
    works and leave an imprint on the infinite-temperature energy transport. At later
    times, we observe a long-lived superdiffusive transport regime that we attribute
    to the proximity of a nearby integrable point. While generic strong deformations
    of the PXP model indeed restore diffusive transport, adding a strong chemical
    potential intriguingly gives rise to a well-converged superdiffusive exponent
    z≈3/2. Our results suggest constrained models to be potential hosts of novel transport
    regimes and call for developing an analytic understanding of their energy transport.

  text: We study the thermalization of a small XX chain coupled to long, gapped XXZ
    leads at either side by observing the relaxation dynamics of the whole system.
    Using extensive tensor network simulations, we show that such systems, although
    not integrable, appear to show either extremely slow thermalization or even lack
    thereof since the two cannot be distinguished within the accuracy of our numerics.
    We show that the persistent oscillations observed in the spin current in the middle
    of the XX chain are related to eigenstates of the entire system located within
    the gap of the boundary chains. We find from exact diagonalization that some of
    these states remain strictly localized within the XX chain and do not hybridize
    with the rest of the system. The frequencies of the persistent oscillations determined
    by numerical simulations of dynamics match the energy differences between these
    states exactly. This has important implications for open systems, where the strongly
    interacting leads are often assumed to thermalize the central system. Our results
    suggest that, if we employ gapped systems for the leads, this assumption does
    not hold.

  text: Ongoing development of quantum simulators allows for a progressively finer
    degree of control of quantum many-body systems. This motivates the development
    of efficient approaches to facilitate the control of such systems and enable the
    preparation of nontrivial quantum states. Here we formulate an approach to control
    quantum systems based on matrix product states (MPSs). We compare counterdiabatic
    and leakage minimization approaches to the so-called local steering problem that
    consists in finding the best value of the control parameters for generating a
    unitary evolution of the specific MPS in a given direction. In order to benchmark
    the different approaches, we apply them to the generalization of the PXP model
    known to exhibit coherent quantum dynamics due to quantum many-body scars. We
    find that the leakage-based approach generally outperforms the counterdiabatic
    framework and use it to construct a Floquet model with quantum scars. We perform
    the first steps towards global trajectory optimization and demonstrate entanglement
    steering capabilities in the generalized PXP model. Finally, we apply our leakage
    minimization approach to construct quantum scars in the periodically driven nonintegrable
    Ising model.

  text: Quantum kinetically constrained models have recently attracted significant
    attention due to their anomalous dynamics and thermalization. In this work, we
    introduce a hitherto unexplored family of kinetically constrained models featuring
    a conserved particle number and strong inversion-symmetry breaking due to facilitated
    hopping. We demonstrate that these models provide a generic example of so-called
    quantum Hilbert space fragmentation, that is manifested in disconnected sectors
    in the Hilbert space that are not apparent in the computational basis. Quantum
    Hilbert space fragmentation leads to an exponential in system size number of eigenstates
    with exactly zero entanglement entropy across several bipartite cuts. These eigenstates
    can be probed dynamically using quenches from simple initial product states. In
    addition, we study the particle spreading under unitary dynamics launched from
    the domain wall state, and find faster than diffusive dynamics at high particle
    densities, that crosses over into logarithmically slow relaxation at smaller densities.
    Using a classically simulable cellular automaton, we reproduce the logarithmic
    dynamics observed in the quantum case. Our work suggests that particle conserving
    constrained models with inversion symmetry breaking realize so far unexplored
    universality classes of dynamics and invite their further theoretical and experimental
    studies.
