Probing quantum many-body scars on a superconducting processor

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Pengfei Zhang, Hang Dong, Yu Gao, Liangtian Zhao, Jie Hao | Summary: Thermalization in complex and strongly interacting quantum many-body systems represents an obstacle to applications. It was recently suggested theoretically that quantum many-body scarring (QMBS) states embedded in the thermalized energy spectrum can overcome this difficulty. […]
