In a quest for experimental realizations of coherent long-time dynamics, efforts have focused on ergodicity-breaking mechanisms, such as integrability and localization. The recent discovery of persistent revivals in quantum simulators based on Rydberg atoms have pointed to the existence of a new type of behaviour where the system rapidly relaxes for most initial conditions, while certain initial states give rise to non-ergodic dynamics. This collective effect has been named ”quantum many-body scarring’by analogy with a related form of weak ergodicity breaking that occurs for a single particle inside a stadium billiard potential. In this Review, we provide a pedagogical introduction to quantum many-body scars and highlight the emerging connections with the semiclassical quantization of many-body systems. We discuss the relation between scars and more general routes towards weak violations of ergodicity due to embedded algebras and non-thermal eigenstates, and highlight possible applications of scars in quantum technology."}],"department":[{"_id":"MaSe"}],"issue":"6","date_published":"2021-06-01T00:00:00Z","publication_status":"published","date_updated":"2023-10-18T08:20:59Z","month":"06","article_processing_charge":"No","day":"01","type":"journal_article","file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"RevisedQMBSreview.pdf","embargo":"2021-12-01","creator":"patrickd","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","checksum":"316ed42ea1b42b0f1a3025bb476266fc","file_id":"10026","date_created":"2021-09-20T09:27:43Z","file_size":10028836,"date_updated":"2021-12-02T23:30:03Z"}],"status":"public","quality_controlled":"1","title":"Quantum many-body scars and weak breaking of ergodicity","publisher":"Nature Research","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_created":"2021-05-28T09:03:50Z","oa_version":"Preprint","oa":1}
