The concept of quantum many-body scars has recently been put forward as a route to describe weak ergodicity breaking and violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. We propose a simple setup to generate quantum many-body scars in a doubly modulated Bose-Hubbard system which can be readily implemented in cold atomic gases. The dynamics are shown to be governed by kinetic constraints which appear via density-assisted tunneling in a high-frequency expansion. We find the optimal driving parameters for the kinetically constrained hopping which leads to small isolated subspaces of scared eigenstates. The experimental signatures and the transition to fully thermalizing behavior as a function of driving frequency are analyzed.

Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the challenges of creating precise models for the nuclear force and managing uncertainties in quantum many-body calculations, which are crucial for understanding nuclei and nuclear matter.
- Researchers use generative machine learning to develop new nucleon-nucleon interaction instances by training on existing potential data from literature.
- The generative model successfully creates nucleon-nucleon potentials that yield high-quality scattering phase shifts, aiding in better estimation of theoretical uncertainties in nuclear calculations related to different nuclear interactions and resolution scales.
Many-Body Systems with Spurious Modular Commutators.
Phys Rev Lett
December 2024
Kadanoff Center for Theoretical Physics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA.
Article Synopsis
- A proposed relationship exists between the chiral central charge of gapped, two-dimensional quantum systems and a bulk entanglement measure called the modular commutator.
- Evidence supports this relation, but it is shown in this study that it is not universal across all systems.
- The authors present examples of lattice systems with a zero chiral central charge that still produce nonzero "spurious" modular commutator values, demonstrating this discrepancy in both one- and two-dimensional setups.

The identification of tipping points is essential for the prediction of collapses or other sudden changes in complex systems. Applications include studies of ecology, thermodynamics, climatology, and epidemiology. However, detecting early signs of proximity to a tipping is made challenging by complexity and nonlinearity.

Quantum magnetic materials can provide explicit realizations of paradigm models in quantum many-body physics. In this context, SrCu_{2}(BO_{3})_{2} is a faithful realization of the Shastry-Sutherland model for ideally frustrated spin dimers, even displaying several of its quantum magnetic phases as a function of pressure. We perform inelastic neutron scattering measurements on SrCu_{2}(BO_{3})_{2} at 5.
