Exact excited states of nonintegrable models

S Moudgalya, S Rachel, BA Bernevig, N Regnault - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
We discuss a method of numerically identifying exact energy eigenstates for a finite system,
whose form can then be obtained analytically. We demonstrate our method by identifying …

Long-range prethermal phases of nonequilibrium matter

F Machado, DV Else, GD Kahanamoku-Meyer… - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We prove the existence of nonequilibrium phases of matter in the prethermal regime of
periodically driven, long-range interacting systems, with power-law exponent α> d, where d …

Statistical localization: From strong fragmentation to strong edge modes

T Rakovszky, P Sala, R Verresen, M Knap, F Pollmann - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
Certain disorder-free Hamiltonians can be nonergodic due to a strong fragmentation of the
Hilbert space into disconnected sectors. Here, we characterize such systems by introducing …

Quantum east model: Localization, nonthermal eigenstates, and slow dynamics

N Pancotti, G Giudice, JI Cirac, JP Garrahan… - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We study in detail the properties of the quantum East model, an interacting quantum spin
chain inspired by simple kinetically constrained models of classical glasses. Through a …

Strong zero modes in integrable quantum circuits

E Vernier, HC Yeh, L Piroli, A Mitra - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
It is a classic result that certain interacting integrable spin chains host robust edge modes
known as strong zero modes (SZMs). In this Letter, we extend this result to the Floquet …

Dissipative spin chain as a non-Hermitian Kitaev ladder

N Shibata, H Katsura - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We derive exact results for the Lindblad equation for a quantum spin chain (one-
dimensional quantum compass model) with dephasing noise. The system possesses doubly …

Many-body localization, symmetry and topology

SA Parameswaran, R Vasseur - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We review recent developments in the study of out-of-equilibrium topological states of matter
in isolated systems. The phenomenon of many-body localization, exhibited by some isolated …

Prethermal strong zero modes and topological qubits

DV Else, P Fendley, J Kemp, C Nayak - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
We prove that quantum information encoded in some topological excitations, including
certain Majorana zero modes, is protected in closed systems for a time scale exponentially …

Strong and almost strong modes of Floquet spin chains in Krylov subspaces

DJ Yates, A Mitra - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Integrable Floquet spin chains are known to host strong zero and π modes which are
boundary operators that respectively commute and anticommute with the Floquet unitary …

Dynamics of almost strong edge modes in spin chains away from integrability

DJ Yates, AG Abanov, A Mitra - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
Results are presented for the dynamics of an almost strong edge mode which is the
quasistable Majorana edge mode occurring in nonintegrable spin chains. The dynamics of …
