“Quantum many-body scars” (Prof. Anne Nielsen)

Quantum many-body scars are highly excited states with atypical properties. They are remarkable because they do not follow the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis and lead to interesting dynamics. After a general introduction to the field, I will discuss how similar quantum scars are to ground states. In particular, quantum scars can undergo both adiabatic evolution and phase transitions. I will also introduce inverted quantum many-body scars.
